the idea is no more ludicrous or enforceable than one that states you cannot release an abalone after popping it off the rocks to measure, unless that abalone is short.... |

Re: Video of Big White Seabass School
The funny thing is, you picked the wrong person to say this to... Just take a walk through my recent post history. Regardless, it's irrelevant.
If you choose to count torn off fish towards your limit, good for you.... but you're missing the true reason for my post, which was to call you out on derailing good threads, and just being a pretentious asshole in general. |

Anyways, in an attempt to bring this thread back to something productive... Albondiga, what settings do you use on your GoPro (cause the footage looks great)? Just got a new black edition and have been playing around with the settings extensively. So far, I have found that dropping the frame rate really helps with the low light footage. Thinking I'm going to use 1440P @ 24fps when the vis goes to shit, and either 1080p @60fps or 720P @120fps when the water's pretty clear (and hopefully get some sick slo-mo shots). |

I have the older Gopro 2, so my experience in settings may not be 100% valid to your camera. My camera has the option of 720 at 30 or 60 fps, 1080 at 30fps, and 960 at 30fps. I found the 960 unsatisfactory and never use it. 1080 at 30 gives nice video, but I found it blurred with the action of spearfishing and my head movement. The 60 fps smoothed out the action and I could also reduce speed by a half and maintain quality. Youtube only posts at 30 frames per second, so my original files always look slightly better than the posted video. You will have to test your camera settings out, but if I had your camera I would probably use 1080 @60 primarily. I believe 24fps is the frame rate for television, so Gopro put that as an option for your camera so people making tv shows would not have to convert video files. If it gives you better low light results, I say go for it on those murky days. Do you have a Youtube channel? Could you post the link? I want to check out your stuff. |

Re: Video of Big White Seabass School
Sweet vid, thanks for posting.
Before the storm I actually got schooled by about 12 to 20 tankers. Kinda funny, really fishy day, offshore but shallowish water (35'). I was hunting ling on the bottom with a 50cm peashooter while my buddy was running around with my giant rail gun. I do a drop and spot three big beautiful WSB off in the murk. Of course I get all giddy and pop up to task my buddy with shooting one of them since he's got the fish cannon, but the chuckle-headed imbecile has already destroyed our only slip-tip... he swims over holding up a big ling and is like, 'sorry dude but isn't this a nice fish?' I give him a proper verbal flogging while he swims back to the boat and we have a good laugh over his perfect timing. And then I do another drop, start poking around on the bottom, look up and see a wall of giant seabass. I immediately fall in with them and start looking for the SMALLEST one, convinced that if I could get a perfect shot on a little one, I might have a chance. No go, they're all 30 to 60 lbs. I did two full 360's trying to line up a shot as the school circled me until they finally took off.... |

We got some footage of ling (we both ended up limiting that day) but that was the last either of saw of the WSB. I don't know if we'll use the ling footage--maybe, but we're planning to do a more produced shoot on a much, much deeper spot with bigger ling. |

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en It says "Frame rates should match the source material. For example, content shot in 24fps should be encoded and uploaded at 24fps. Content recorded at 30fps should be uploaded at 30fps. Content shot in 720p60, should be uploaded at 720p60. Content at 1080i 60, should be deinterlaced, going from 60 interlaced fields per second to 30 progressive frames per second before uploading". |
