During a recent fishing trip we collected underwater footage of fish in their natural habitat - not being fished or baited. We were concerned that the size of our camera rig would scare the fish, however, the opposite was true as it attracted walleye, smallmouth bass, redhorse suckers and muskie in good numbers. The cameras were left running for approximately 2 hours in 2 locations, 12 feet of water in a river channel then 4 feet of water in a silty bay. This video shows the muskies that passed the cameras; the walleye, sucker and bass footage will be posted soon.

Hope you enjoy!

WOW! What a great video. Pretty neat that the fish were not spooked by the film gear.

Thanks for the comments. The fish (muskie, walleye, bass and sucker) were not spooked by the camera gear at all, in fact they seemed more curious than anything. The muskie at the end was only concerned about catching dinner - unfortunately the cameras just missed that!

Wow, I can only imagine how awesome it would be to see that!

Definitely a cool video, not sure how I missed it first time around in Oct. Maybe I was out of town working, or fishing :)
One kind of fish I don't think I have ever caught is Muskie. I do remember being on a lake as a little boy and catching weird looking, what my Dad called Pike. No spots and gray. So maybe I have.
I'd certainly like to try again tho.

Thanks for the comments, guys. We're looking forward to getting more of this type of footage in a couple of months.
