The following video was shot on February 22nd here in southern Indiana. It is entitled Back in the Saddle because I am just coming off a shoulder surgery and when combined with a very long and hard winter…it has been 53 days since I caught my last fish, about 52 days overdue! It is a short video…only about 6 minutes long but has some nice scenery shots and lastly, I was able to land a nice 15 ½ inch smallmouth bass and film it using my GoPro camera. Hope it inspires you to get out and get going…remember slow your presentation down, way down and try some bright colors.
