So I went fishing "after work" on Friday and it was a great time after a long week at work with the month end. I caught a few small fish and missed a nice one. I get up Sat morning after sleeping later than I wanted to and head out the door. My Jeep with my kayak is gone!!!! My wife took my Jeep with the kayak to go get some breakfast taco's. What the heck!!!! This would mess up my fishing tradition. I always stop to get kolaches before going fishing. Any way I thought it was kinda funny the wife would even leave the house by herself with my kayak on top of the Jeep. So back to fishing. I get to the launch and get in the water. Another kayaker was there waiting for me and we paddle straight to the spot where I had missed a nice one the day before. Because I was late and while we paddled we were talking all the way so I forgot to turn the camera's on. We get to the spot make a few cast and I'm thinking this is going to be a long morning. Then all of a sudden my rod takes a nose dive and its fish on. During the fight I forgot I have the new Sports-Vue 360HD camera with a remote up front on the panfish portrait and did not get the camera rolling till after the fish was in the kayak. Well I'll let you watch the video to see what happen's next. I will say that I will be making a few changes to how I do things.

You should get some consolation points for being man enough to post the video! Hats off for that, and you did catch a nice fish!

Yea, while tournaments are important to me in doing my best its all about the time spent with friends and landing nice fish. When I can't laugh about it is when I need to take a serious look at why I'm on the water.
