Looks like my typical style of fishing, with a few changes... I throw my phone in a zip lock or 2, keep it aired up with chunks of pool noodle, turn the phone flashlight and video on, and toss it in. Method of retrieval is a butterfly net on a long dowel rod.

Hopefully one of these times I can see you out there. They used to block the whole river off right before the creek branches into it down the bank a little bit. There is actually a wall about where the hand rails end about 3 feet off the bottom. But just as your underwater footage shows it's primarily where the big head like to hang out. Occasionally you will see a school of silvers pushes up in there aswell.

According to the DNR that I spoke with, you're not allow to kill invasive fish. Why? Because they already live there and mass populated themselves, so you're just loitering the water with their corps by killing/leaving them. 💯 Just catch and release, unless you plan to eat.

Great vid! Tried the same with my GoPro while ice-fishing a few years back. Had the same initial problem with the camera spinning and ended up using a pole (cut down a tall sapling at the shore). It looked real crude but worked perfectly (just remember to keep the string attached, as a safety, in case the camera gets knocked off the pole!) I also ended up using a divers flashlight after a few tries with a watertight one and as I recall, the difference between the two light sources was huge. It’s always a blast seeing underwater footage of the places you fish 👍🏻 Thanks!
