Ozark Gold

Life has been crazy but also good.  Last weekend I had 4 days to do whatever I wanted.  At first I choose SELA for reds.  But at the last minute, I decided to stay in the the state and do some kayak camping.  Nothing fancy about it.  Hammock, bedding, food (on one end), water (on the other) and 3 days to find my inner peace.  It'll probably take less time to watch the video than decipher my bad grammar.  This is just the conventional side.  Still have tons of video on the fly.  Life is GOOD!

    1. I don't have any friends and I have to go solo...so there's that! And, I read the post where you think you might have seen a mountain lion or panther and went to investigate b/c you weren't sure...so there's that! Thanks for watching the video!!

    Great job with the video, how much editing do you use with a film that long? Nice smallies, have you landed any there on the fly? Thanks for sharing

    1. The edits take a few hours. Most is the downloading and searching through the footage Ex, this trip was 3 days, I have hours of video and only made a 2 min clip. Yes several from this trip. The cover of the video was landed on the fly. Just decided to save the fly stuff for another project I'm working on.

  3. Great video, I just returned from the Buffalo River doing the same thing. I did the Rush to Ships Ferry float on my kayak with a couple of buddies. Caught some nice smallies on Buffalo then some decent trout the last five miles to Ships on the White. My video journal of the whole experience doesn't look 1/4th as good as yours, you have mad GoPro skills.

    1. Thx man. I love that float. Always catch some good fish and rarely see anyone.

    2. Great float, and we did catch some good ones had an amazing time. The river was way up so that brought out the people we had a big group of canoes come through and a ton of folks running motors up river from the White. But even with all the traffic it was pretty amazing. You will have to let me in on some of those Jedi GoPro secrets I bought a GoPro session and love it but have found most all of my vids to be very shaky at best. But I do love to put video with a good story. Love what you do sir, happy fishing.
