7/18/15 Passaic Pike: New PB

HTC is definitely the way to go! Only brand smartphone I've owned and never had one crap out on me or need to be serviced or fixed. Got em wet a few times to and only one never worked again.

Also, for pics, they take pretty good ones!! Plus, selfie mode really helps. Front facing screen and 3 sec countdown. Recently I also got this selfie stick style tripod. Holds the phone steady while you line up the fish and can face either way.....



Lately I've been messing around with setting up my phone at a spot and just hitting record. I like to get a vid of the fight to go with a still shot of the fish. Unfortunately, I don't always catch while I'm filming and it drains the battery faster to film water going by, lol. But, some of the vids I've gotten are pretty cool.

Nice! Hey, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get the selfie tripod? Looks perfect for this.

Actually, my wife sells Avon cosmetics as a side job and she got it for me from them. Only 10-15 bucks. Not sure if they're available elsewhere but if you can't find it let me know, I'll get a few extra.

Also, the legs are flexible, so it can be set up a ton of different ways......

Congrats on the PB Pike sir! That's a healthy fish for sure. 40 inchers are hard to come by these days but it has been done. Good luck on your quest!
