Awesome! What type of mount did you use? Handle bar or roll-cage?

Been thinking about getting one of those. Have you been satisfied with it?

Nice muskie and good idea on mounting the camera on the net. I made a mount for mine that hangs over the side of the boat but darn remote won't work thru the water. My camera is a Swann, exact same as the GoPro with HD etc but got mine at London Drugs and was about $100 less expensive. They work great.

Mine is a Swann Freestyle HD. Awesome camera. Works very well.

This is a short video of us testing it out in Valemount in February.

Thanks local angler, was my second muskie from shore this year! hopping for another, been putting in some crazy hours.

Custom mount just used one of the 3M adhesive mounts that it came with, screwed a hole in it, attached it to the metal track on the net where the loop connects, sturdy and a great shot.
Nice!!
Thanks onegirlwolfpack appreciate it

YES. you won't find anyone not satisfied with it, lots of benefits, but like there has been mentions in here, 10000000 other options, so do your research and choose what is best for you, i know GoPro HD Hero, not the hero 2 is best for me!

thanks, I've seen that done a few times and its a great idea, i never though about that how the remote wouldn't work through the water, defiantly a downfall. never heard of that kind of camera before, just got to look at the contour yesterday as someone had it while fishing pretty nice camera, I'm going to check out the swann. thanks for the information johninAB
