High Definition Videos

[Whopperhead]

I figure I'd start a thread for those HD videos too big for "youtube.com" - I know I would be interested in watching others videos in HD.

Here's a start- It's a different version of us spearfishing/Freediving in Lake Michigan. It's my first time with my new Camera- so, bare with me.

Wow...Awesome!!! Did you see that whale! Holy cow I did lose some weight since then...The HIGH DEFINITION VID is totally awesome...I really liked the way the bubbles were sparkling at one point...

I can't wait 'til next year out there...

Looked pretty good for your FIRST time Whopperhead...Keep it up buddy...That was so cool!

Nice video indeed! What camera did you use, Whopperhead?

[Whopperhead]

Thanks, I can't imagine what they will look like when I get better at editing and shooting better video- The Possibilities for a great video are there, It's a JVC GZ-HD7 - I bought it through BHPHOTO.com

My 2nd attempt at a video is pretty cool too and better camera handling- I couldn't post it- cause the File was too large for "File Factory" so if anyone knows of a site, I can UPLOAD Large files for sharing - please let me know. My last video was 324MB.

Hi Whopperhead. Do you eat all those carp? How are they prepared and what do they taste like? (don't say chicken!)

[Whopperhead]

We don't actually eat these carp- I am how ever buying a smoker so I can Smoke the REALLY small ones- The carp here in Wisconsin are considered a JUNK fish and destroy habitat for game fish and get VERY LARGE- some areas of Wisconsin actually will pay people to get rid of the carp. The only way - I've heard the carp taste OK are smoked- and only the small ones- The larger ones I hear taste pretty bad. I use them as fertilizer for now. And the cats like to eat them. I know - me not eating these carp make some people mad- but I wonder, Have they ever eaten one of these large carp? I doubt it. Anyone wanting the carp I shoot for food- is more than welcome to take them.

Are those carp native or where they introduced? Does your government recognize this threat and authorize theses culls? I saw a video recently of a jumping carp (I think) introduced from Asia that was decimating your waters as well as posing a hazard to recreational watercraft, are these the same Carp species? Sorry for so many questions but it is an interesting theme, unfortunately off the threads topic....oops!

[Whopperhead]

From my understanding the only carp native to Wisconsin are Buffalo carp- which these are not- I was told they were brought in to eat off a certain Invasive Plant and now have been populating with no predators......except humans. The Department of Natural Resources does recognize these fish as invasive and often will kill a whole lake or pond of ALL fish just to get rid of the the carp, and then put fry/fingerlings of game fish back in the lake.

We do not have the Asian carp (jumping carp) in wisconsin.............YET. I'm sure that will be just a matter of time.

Here's a High Def Version of The OUTLET - vis isn't the best- but lots of fish shown- no actual shots caught on camera- Next time- hopefully the vis will be alot better too.
