SportFishing and Charters Forum - First attempt with the GoPro - Yellowfin Tuna release what do you guys think?

I got a GoPro Hero2, for my birthday, and on Thursday used it for the first time. We were out near Isla Montuosa here in Panama and ran into a nice pod of Porpoises. I got some footage of fighting, boating, and releasing a YFT.

I'm planning on using the GoPro in the future to grab hopefully some good footage for promotions and on our website. Check out the video and please let me know what you guys think I can do to improve. Thanks.

I don't care who ya are...That was funny! :)

That was great Shane :rofl::thumbsup:

Cool, looks like you have done that before, and the video was nice and short. There are so many video's being posted these days that when I see one over 3 minutes I lose interest.

Wasn't that a black fin not a yellow fin? Reguardless the video was great! Just got a Hero2 myself from Killer&Griller. Can't WAIT to try it out!

Thanks! But definitely a Yellowfin. No Blackfins here in the Pacific. It does look dark and fat though. The Yellowfins have been gorging themselves on squid and other bait fish that are thick here in the Gulf of Chiriqui right now. It was a little overcast that day too.

Agree. 6 minutes of cranking with 20 seconds of fish at the end I will lose interest.

Great video but nothing beats a gaff shot to the head and blood spatter everywhere.

That was great, thanks for posting. :rofl:

What is the background music, I dig it!

Reggae instrumental I dubbed from YouTube's music selection.

After you upload your video click on the "Enhancements" tab. From there click on "Audio" tab. A bunch of "Featured Tracks" will be displayed that you can dub into your video. It's pretty easy. Check it out.

Wow cool video! Way to go on the release!

Great stuff, had me shaking along with you! We got the GoPro right before our Bimini trip last month...then took a lot of boring video of our trip over and cleaning some fish, but always forgot to turn the dang thing on while we were catching them! Next time.
