Nothing like playing with your toys in the bathtub .  Thanks a lot.  The video provides a lot of useful info.  I really find the mirror image of the swim toad on the water "surface" to be informative.  This might be a reason that fish miss surface baits ( strike the image ) or explain why fish "blow up" on surface baits like they often do.

It has its uses seeing how they will act in water without being at the actual lake. Agreed i think the frog portion of the vid is my fav

Is this with the camera in your earlier boat picture?  Really nice work; and a wicked looking camera if it is the one.  Underwater shows things that looking down from above doesn't show.

Yup its the same camera. i just switched out the back piece so it would be waterproof. Im still messing with it figuring out its limitations/what i can do with it but for what i need it for it does the job

 Well done. I've been trying to decide between the Berrybug and the Bigfoot. This vid helped. Thank you.---Tim.

Awesome video.  Try fishing the DD Gill the same as you did the weightless toad, or with a light swim bait hook.  It should take a second to sink a foot and will flutter and rock back and forth on the fall.

Doing the video in the bathtub really is a great angle! Really helps to see how the bait really moves...and those bubbles on the Swim Toad on the surface were awesome!

Is you camera the Hero 3? And...how do you like it??

Yes its the hero 3 silver. the video id pretty good on it,ive recorded on rainy,cloudy & snowy days & the quality was still prefect.Im still trying to figure out the photo part of it (for bait pics) I think thats all about lighting. Overall I like it & its simple to use. It works strait out of the box (after charging) it says to update but thats if youre going to use something like a ipad with the mobile app with it since it has wifi built in.

I haven't tried skipping it.  My gut is it would take a little practice.
