-----------------------------
On 8.22.11 we put a GoPro HD Hero in a crab pot during a Crabbing/Bottom Fishing Trip with Captain Jeurgen Turner's "Tacklebuster" out of Depoe Bay, Oregon's TradeWinds Charters.
It was a great haul of Dungeness, as evidenced by the video! Despite it being an overcast day, the GoPro did well in low light at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
We would have captured even more footage if a curious crab (who seemed obsessed with the blinking red light) hadn't managed to turn off the camera with one of his rear legs! (See end of Video!)
We used an Eye of Mine flat lens housing to eliminate the fisheye effect the standard GoPro housing creates. As you can see, the housing worked great - and withstood being scratched on the side by the curious crab. However, the lens is still crystal clear.
Special Thanks to Captain Jeurgen Turner and Deckhands Tyler and Jesse of The "Tacklebuster" for their permission and assistance in capturing this footage!
