Kyle datches a Bass

9

I obviously hit the wrong key when I added the title to this 3 minutes and 45 seconds of sparkling repartee between Gramps the cameraman and Kyle the fisherman without the drag properly set.

By popular demand, here it is, and maybe I’ll change the d to a c tomorrow. Maybe. Some technical details will follow.

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

The video was taken on a Canon VIXIA HF200 Camcorder which I don’t know how to run and probably never will. The raw files were transferred to the computer running Windows 7 by a USB connection, sort of; edited and titled in Corel VideoStudio X2, which I don’t know how to use but somehow managed to produce a 28MB Flash Video file; and compressed by a program called Squeeze 5 to less than 7MB.

Kerry, you can pick yourself off the floor now and stop laughing. Would it be easier on a Mac? (Isn’t everything easier on a Mac?)

Brothers Don and Tom, you have been warned. Your turn is coming.

Kyle, I have to confess that for most of the good footage I forgot to hit the start button. You were a good sport and it’s probably all for the better.

Dave, which he is trying, ain’t he?

    Great footage, Dad! It’s worth a lot to be able to see such familial scenes.

    Larry, who is enjoying, ain’t he?

  2. Andrea says:

    Thanks for sharing! You captured some classic Kyle.

  3. Dave says:

    I still await Kyles reaction, but at least he didn’t throw me out of the boat. We really enjoyed our time together. Or at least I did.

  4. Linda says:

    Hey thanks dad! That’s my boy! It was worth seeing just to hear the banter and laughter between 2 of my favorite men!

  5. Kyle says:

    I daught it I daught it! that was fun… Thanks Grandpa for this footage. Next time I’ll have to record your fishing. For all you who posted, he caught some much nicer ones than the one seen here.

  6. Leslie says:

    That was fun to watch. A good grandson granddad moment. Kyle I like your daught it reply. lol. Yes, I’d love to see some footage of Dad’s bass fishing and datching!

  7. Dave says:

    The cameraman who records me catching a bass may require more patience than is normally allotted to man. I’ll talk to Bro Tom about it. Not much point in talking to Bro Don.

  8. Dave says:

    Hmmm. Mebbe Bro-In-Law John would be a good candidate. Does he get sea-sick?
