I have a good friend who fishes and owns a website called Fins and Fur who can teach you how to get fish like that in your kayak.  Well, up to your kayak so you can take a hero shot and then release it.

Very cool!  We call that a "long release."  Excellent to get it on film, and that was a BIG bass.

One of my all time "me too" memories is a steelhead that jumped to eye level right under the rod tip and spit my spinner back past my head.  I was wading toward the sun in a wide shallow section, fishing for trout with a small Mepps spinner as I moved from one hole to another.   The water was less than a foot deep where Wind River spread out over flat bedrock and the river was a sheet of mirror.  A steelhead took the little spinner right under the rod tip, made a half swirl, jumped head high and spit out the lure as I pulled.  Fortunately the hooks missed my ear as they went by.  That fish must have braced his tail against the bottom when he jumped, it was so shallow.   

Your video captured a great moment!

 I thought from the subject title that Jimbo had a wild  night out on the town,  or got attacked by a spitting cobra   :yoyo: :wink:

Good point Barry lol
Jerry...hero shot? Did you do that knowing the Gopro line of cameras are called Heros or just get lucky? [emoji23]
Clyde that water description put me right there. My feet felt wet lol
Slag...very disappointing. Especially once I slowed the footage and got a glimpse of the sow. [emoji853]
