Fish nerd heaven. The video is much clearer and has much truer color when viewed straight off the camera, but I'm just learning how to do this stuff, forgive me for any out-takes material!

Did the Apache helicopter ever land during the filming? The one you can hear hovering nearby most of the video?
Just messing. Very cool video. Where was the architect of that massive mound?

Incredible video, Matt. The White-Finned Yellowfins are my favorite, and this video makes it clear to me that I need more than the 2 measly sub-adults in my pond.

Very cool. You video is great. Clear and steady for the most part. Would be easy to cut some of the befores and after sour and add music.

Thanks, all. Nick, I think that Apache was air moving somewhere through the housing, but can't imagine where. I have no idea where the mound builder was. I have never seen a chub of any type there that I can remember. Actually wondered if it might have been man-made by some unknown fish geek. Have you seen chubs there before, Dustin? There's actually much more footage from the whole day yesterday, lots more to show, but it'll have to wait till I get better at this stuff. As it was it took You Tube four hours to upload this!
Oh, btw, those now-NANFA-famous Yellowfins from the ultra-intense dipnetting scene are slated to be shipped to NH for the convention auction.

I don't remember ever catching any chubs there either. I'm sure blueheads are there but just scarce.
