fishing shows and underwater video

[Phil Lilley]

Watching Linder's show this morning, I saw more underwater action shots than ever.

How do they get those shots!!!

I've always loved underwater video. If I had unlimited funds, I'd go out and buy all the high-dollar equipment and shoot trout taking zebra midges here on Taney.

Anyhow- they're really getting good at it. Seeing bass taking worms and baits, how lures move in the water, all bring it home for us anglers who live our lives above the surface.

Lilley, Al's show is usually pretty good and they fish for everything. I know some Minnesota folks who know him and they say he is a good christian guy. To bad he sold out of In Fisherman, it has never been the same.

I always like his show because there is alot of "open water" fishing it seems, out in the middle of the lake fishing the bottom for smallies, walleye, etc.

It is always interesting

Years ago I met Doug Stange at the KC Sport Show and asked him how they shot a particular underwater fish scene. He said they put the camera in an (dry) aquarium and could shoot below the water line that way.

Two suggestions- instead of In-Fishermen, watch Linder's Fishing Edge (shows 11:30? here in St. Louis, local Channel 24 saturdays).

The second- a competition. Hang a Woolly Bugger and a little Cleo in front of the TroutCam (both hookless, of course) and just leave them there, maybe comparing the strikes of "bugginess" vs "flashiness." Could be a really cool way to waste my free time.
