I took Zoe the dog on a hike along the Occoquan today. We ended up taking a side path down to the riverside. I broke out the GoPro and took some underwater footage. Hopefully it turned out all right.

 

The spot we poked around was by Fountainhead Regional Park. Saw some fishes including quite a few sunnies and some bass.

 

While it's loading to my computer and I sort through the footage here's a picture of Zoe on the bank.

I have about 50 minutes total of footage from at least four different locations. It'll be awhile before I can get it all compiled!

 

However, here's a preview with some footage of some sunnies. Hopefully that'll hold you over. I believe those shown in the video are Redears and some greens but those of you with more experience than I (just about everyone) please chime in.

That link isn't working for me... keeps taking me back to this page.  Got another?

Let's try this.

 

 

I probably copy/pasted the wrong link.

Cool stuff. That sunnie right before the end cracked me up- canya get any closer?

Nice video---I wish Microsoft would make screen savers like that, rather than a bunch of colorful bubbles bouncing around the screen.

Cool video, thanks for sharing!

I can only imagine what was going through that little fish's mind!

 

There was a 12" or so largemouth swimming around about 10' further back from my camera but the water was too murky. I don't think I got a shot of it.

Nice video! Looks like greens and bluegills. I don't think I saw any redears.
