Go Pro Hero

I got mine a while back and I've been practicing to get to the general standard you see around these days. It finally feels like something is starting to click! Big thanks to all Culvert readers for your words of encouragement throughout the process.

Please enjoy this film short of spring time in New England.

Urgent Public Service Announcement Appeal For Much Better Shit: In The Name of Christ I Just Can't Watch Any More

Please familiarize yourself with this short film trailer. It is from a long time ago and is said to be "the first of the modern fishing films", which implies that we've evolved and that anything remotely as good has been seen since 1973, when it was made. But it has not - for content, artistry or technique - and perhaps this isn't all that surprising when you consider who was involved and the fantastic amount of hasheesh these guys must have blown through their cultural backdrop. In fact, when you look at 99% of the vacant pap we're all making these days, this film just rises higher.

Indeed, the reasons why should become quite apparent while you watch along. And if they do not, please rely on the texts of Brautigan, McGuane and Harrison to re-evaluate everything to date, then return to your Go-Pro and try again through this new, er, lens. If you cannot read, other parts of your body are just as likely to respond favorably to the footage of leaping Tarpon fish, as mine do. 

There now. No more of these silly videos, alright?

As you were.
