GoPro HD Fall Fishing on the Russian River in Alaska

Waited for the summer crowds to leave and the 2nd run of reds to spawn before taking the GoPro HD camera for a little underwater viewing on the Kenai & Russian rivers in Alaska. It was a warm, sunny day on September 10th, 2010 which is not typical but the spawned reds were pretty colorful underwater. The GoPro has been fun but could probably do better with a filter. The 1st run of Silver salmon were coming through as well but not real thick this day. Typical when the rivers are filled with spawners there ends up a lot of snagged fish while going for chrome silvers or for the Dollies and rainbow fishing. A great day with my son visiting and with our friend Gary Keller who was a contestant on the Ultimate Sportsman show this last year. Gary is the one with the nice silver.

The pictures in the begining are they taken with the GoPro Hd Hero?

@TheNYoutdoorsmen The still pictures at the beginning were taken with a 3.2 mp Kodak pocket cam. I had an idea what I wanted to do for this vid so it was easier while packing fishing gear & cams. However, I have used the GoPro picture feature many times and they come out great at max resolution. The timelapse feature is very cool!

is there good way to tell if it is recording like a sound or LED or anything? how long does it record for continously? thanks great vid!

[alaskaerjs]

@glenandgibbert there is a red LED on the front that flashes when running video or camera. There is also a lot of new trick stuff out for them...check out "eyeofmine" web site as they have all of the all the info you need including battery/card life references. Have fun!
