Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

cameraguy does it again with another very nice video where he makes me look almost like I know what I'm doing. I like watching this one just to remember a nice day on the water. Hope it reminds some of you of your nice days on the water too!


Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

AWESOME video  !!!!!  The quality of the production was great.  Hey Cameraguy, wanna go fishing???  lolol  Ummm can you bring the camera???

Sorry to admit it Dan but I liked Wayne's jab about you  !!

I think I might get a little camera shy with it right in my face.  Didn't seem to bother you Dan.

So much water.  So many lures.  So little time.

Cool vid guys.
Dan has starred in several productions and is a veteran actor. Did you notice how effortless he made fighting the fish look? Now Wayne is another story. You could see him struggle with his lines and I am sure cameraguy had to do some heavey editing to make it work.

What's with the news these days on the TV and the radio. Can't find the truth amongst the lies. Some talking head that claims to live their life in a better way, says I have to compromise. But now there's something on the rise. Truth has opened up my eyes. There's no running from your dirty lies. You can't avoid the truth. I'll no longer close my eyes.

I don't like to speak ill of someone... but I heard it took something like 28 takes... what I heard. It may have taken more... but at some point you just get tired of counting! ;D

When cameraguy gets into the boat... he doesn't bring just 1 camera!! Better make some room!

But seriously, we were fighting a stiff breeze that day and some technical difficulties with mics that screwed up a lot of the sound during key times. Took a while to work around all the sound problems so I thank cameraguy for his patience and perseverance. And of course, he has me to work with. You can only do so much with what you have to work with :)

Don't know if anyone noticed or not - the incredible bubbling lily pad at just over the 2 minute mark. Never seen anything like that before. That lily pad bubbled vigorously for at least 7 or 8 minutes while we watched with no let up. The bubbles were coming from the actual pad leaf.

I tried to disrupt it by moving it around, but it just started bubbling right up again. I'll eventually have to show that video to someone with vegetation expertise to see if they know what it was?

Thanks for the kind words.  F.J., absolutely I wanna go fishin'!  Do I have to bring my cameras?  ;D

Sorry for the inconsistant audio.  I had problems with the wireless mic. It's all straightened out now.  It will be better in the future.

Yeah, that lily pad thing was bizarre.  I'll post more video of that in the near future.

Hey Dan,

     This is a great video!!! You and camera guy did a great job. When are you going to have your own show? That's what I am waiting to see. ::) I'm sure you could do it.

djkimmel

Having to do it all the time... I don't know, but we'll keep working on video for the web.
