Long story short......I got a water proof camera for Christmas and this the second chance I've had to use it. Me and D-Hobbs spend the weekend at Lake Welsh. This incident happened around 730am on sunday. Dustin catches one on a paddle tail while I'm throwing a topwater, and picking out a professional overrun. The line begins to get tight while I'm fixing my mess and I think that its just cause the boats moving away from my bait. A few seconds later we see a 4lber jump with my bait in its mouth......There are a few audio adjustments to cover up some unnecessary adult language. +1 That proves it better to be lucky then good

Not trying to rain on Sethmac's parade, but I'm pretty sure this thing was rigged... How can a video from 2004 with no sound on youtube win this contest when the whole forum was talking about the double hookset bass video. I think those guys deserve to win if you look at the response they got in the forum. 34 votes for the Halibut and Salmon video... no offense, but that's funny

Well woke up this morning and was excited to see that I had won, but then saw the comment below and was disturbed to see that I was accused of being a part of a plan to "rig" the contest. I have no affiliation with the person putting on the contest and didn't have a clue where my video stood till I saw the results.
I'm sure you're a nice guy BluWave, but I don't know you at all and you don't know me. It's obvious this was really important to you judging by your lack of participation on the forum in any other way outside of posting concerning the contest.
I'm not real sure what I did wrong? I had no idea how many votes I had, but I sure hoped I won. I'm not trying to be smart, but I am confused. My video plays fine with sound in the forum. I'm obviously biased but I thought the nature of some of the content (octopus, skates, etc..) was interesting, that is why I posted it. The others were great too. Shouldn't matter that mine is from 2004.
I'm guessing a majority of my votes came from my wife's desire to help me win a rod. She is due any day now with our first child (and the 1st grandchild), so you can imagine people are stopping by and watching online for updates constantly. We just linked to the contest since I don't think Ill be buying a rod anytime soon. Am I missing something? The rod is not important enough to watch someone debate this thing like the "hanging chads" of 2000. Its not worth the headache to me, especially with the other things going on right now...
I do find it completely illogical to throw out the top 3 placing videos b/c they aren't who another user thought should win though.

Don't cry foul over a successful campaign. If Sethmac had the support because of who he is and his friends voted for his video for him then so be it. Happy Fishing and tight lines to all!

I have no dog in this fight but Contest closes today. We will add the poll tomorrow or the next day. DO NOT solicit votes please. Just wanted to say I was acting in good faith. I saw the initial instructions and entered a video I already had on Jan. 5. I didn't return till after the voting had started. Looks like that post above came sometime in between... I was actually reminded of the contest because I saw someone plugging a video on the Baylor Bass Fishing Team's wall so I obviously wasn't the only one who didn't know I wasn't suppose to tell anyone the contest existed. Just thought it was like any other contest and I fully expected to lose. I enjoy the interactions on this forum, and would love a new rod, but this contest isn't a mountain I'm willing to die on...just isn't worth it.

This was never a video contest. Anyone with half a brain knew this would be a popularity contest. You really think most of the people who voted watched every video before voting?
