Hello everyone,

We survived the blackflies of Algonquin during our week of camping/fishing and are now in the process of sorting through the GB's of footage we took.

We've put together some of the Channel Catfish footage for starters in the link below. In the next day or two we'll also be posting a timelapse sequence of a dragonfly emerging and some good underwater footage of a snapping turtle who visited daily - both of which were pretty cool to watch. One bonus of an Algonquin adventure in the Spring is that if the fishing is slow there is always something else going on around you. Many moose and eagle sightings - bald and golden, the snakes, bullfrogs and turtles are out and active and the miniature world of insects and spiders is coming to life.

And, of course, at 4:30 every morning a trio of Whippoorwills would start their repetitive calling until sunrise - probably to remind us to take them off the endangered list .....

More footage will follow shortly.

Thanks for watching and commenting, climid.

The lower GoPro mounts were custom made/modified from underwater video light arms and the pole setup was a RAM mount on an aluminum boat hook extendable pole available at most outdoor supply stores.

If you have any other questions just ask we'll be more than happy to help!

Nice videos. Wish we had channel cats in Alberta. I travel 14 hours to fish for the big channel cats of the red river.

Thanks Alberta Bigbore - pound for pound they are one of the best fighting fish in the smaller lakes and rivers. Lots of fun on light tackle.

Good fish!
I can't get over how BLACK they are up in the Northern Lakes.

They're very dark in that area snortwheez. The back is very dark blue to almost black and only the belly is a silvery white.
