13+ Species, 24 Hours, 3 Dimensions
2016/7/18 11:33:13
I like making video. It conveys some of the excitement that photographs
perhaps leave out. Here is my idea to shoot a video this summer. I
have been playing around with some ideas and this one will be a little
different.
I want to catch 13+ species of fish in 24 hours. I
will be shooting it in true 3d. Can't find any examples of this being
done in Colorado. Anyone interested? Tentatively, I will be
shooting for 24 hours July 6th, 7th. If you want to be on it contact me
for the details. It will be set to music, so you will not have to talk
or say anything. If you are worried about giving up a honey hole I can
take only underwater and face 3d shots. Size of fish does not matter.
Preferably from shore, but I have a kayak that I will shoot from.
Here is my tentative species list. "Check" means that I am confident that I can catch one in fairly short order.
1. Bluegill - check
2. Tiger - check
3. Rainbow - check
4. Cutthroat - check
5. Saugeye - check
6. Pike - check
7. Largemouth - check
8. Lake Trout -
9. Smallmouth -
10. Brown -
11. Sucker -
12. Brook - check
13. Splake - check
14. Wiper -
15. Walleye -
16. Catfish -
17. Bullhead -
18. Carp -
19. Perch - check
20. Crappie -
Someone
will inevitably ask, "What is the point, are you insane?" First and
foremost, I like to make fishing more than a sport done from a folding
chair. I think you can take the sport of fishing to pretty extreme
lengths; film can capture it. Second, after talking with some members
here on the website, they said that it would be an interesting benchmark
to see if they could beat it. Normally, you can only beat size
records. I wonder what it would look like to set records according to
time. Not only is this a fishing challenge, but a logistical one as
well. I expect that I will be hitting lakes from Pueblo to Ft.
Collins. Time will tell.
