Dropping a GoPro Into a Desert Canal! (INSANE)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- We dropped a GoPro into a canal in the middle of the desert! This canal is crystal clear and is full of fish! Arizona is full of all sorts of canals, a lot of which go through very rural parts of the state.
This one happens to be full of a ton of different fish species. I used my gopro hero 8 which is waterproof to see the action underwater. The footage pretty much came out flawless and crystal clear!
I hope yall enjoyed this underwater desert canal footage!

That YEET had me WEAK AF 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Bro sameeeeee😂😂😂😂😂
That was some awesome footage. Makes me wonder how often fish chase my fly and never commit. Really cool.
I appreciate it man yea it’s crazy to see how fish actually move around down there
I think its crazy that Texas water is too hot for smallmouth but you have them in Arizona
Best Arizona fishing TH-camr right here
My man thank you 🙏🏼
It was very informative to watch the go pro view again. Thanks for the video. Be blessed. My friend.
Heck yea that’s always the point of these 🙏🏼 thank you
Going to St. George Utah this summer and your vids are helping me to learn with the desert fishing and trout
Awesome happy to hear it 👏🏼
This is gonna be sick love watching you because you’re so local!
Heck yea I’m excited or this one thanks for the support!
Az fishing the best
Montana's got nothing on us!😂@@dorothytoliver3327
Need to hit some spots in the west( Buckeye) love the videos
If you use as light of line as possible (that you’re comfortable with) and instead of having the tension on your reel after you set the bail. Use your finger tip on the line just past the bail you’ll feel the slightest touch. Works with any fish in salt or freshwater. Doesn’t work with a lure, but any type of baited rig it works great. The only drawback is if it’s cold. Your finger can get really cold, but using different fingers or the hand helps let you warm up your pointing finger. Takes time to get used to the awkwardness, but once you do you’ll get those light biters. I learnt this when I was taught how to tight line for salmon in the rivers. Hope this helps with the light take’s brother. I watched another video of you using a lure. Instead of having your pointing finger on you fishing rod. Let it hand down towards your reel and put a little tension on the line with your finger. I’m not good at explaining things, but I do hope you understand.
Yea I usually do that, but since the fish were right in front of me I just set it down and stepped back. I didn’t really mind missing fish, just wanted to get some cool footage in front of the camera:)
@@TheFishinMagician20 cool brother.
The underwater vids are soo good! Keep killin it!!!
Thank you! Tough to make but so worth it
Cool footage! Makes me want to go fishing! 🔥
Heck yea get out there !
Love the underwater stuff!
My man 🔥
It was fun to see all the fish cruising around. It's amazing that the bite was so light too but I guess they didn't have to retreat to cover. It was very interesting to watch
Heck yea I’m glad you enjoyed. Definitely interesting to see
Your videos have helped me catch fish here in AZ ponds
What’s awesome I’m happy they helped!
All right I'll join the club!!!! I've got my alert button on I want to see all the videos you make. Just makes me want to go out and get a GoPro😊.
Hey welcome aboard! I appreciate you! Filming with GoPros is a blast
Xmas trees work fantastic, instant fish crib
Heck yea they do
The reason why i viewed this video on your channel is that Im fascinated by fish behavior. That carp was something else.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool footage. There are programs in some states that use Christmas trees in streams as a place for fish to habitate . And for salmon steelhead smolt to b hide from predators ' in sections of water that lack natural cover.
ooo did not know that thats cool
Kudus this is a Hoot! Db
thanks for watching!
@2:15 😜 Yeeeeet! 💪🏼
Those are some hungry fish. 🎣
Indeed
Not feeling the bites has be paranoid now LOL
Right lol
The yeet was so freaking funny, thanks for the laugh lol
lol no prob!
Man many thanks for all the locations I’ve never seen
Man, that was a great idea
It was a fun one!
This man is a real fishing magician
I try my best
Entertaining video!
A canal by definition is a man-made structure. So how did the large things (rocks?) get into the canal? Also, how'd the fish get in it?
The dad joke was platinum 😂
😅 sometimes we say some good stuff
That's it, you're gonna have to carp fish that spot meow. 😆 awesome video, my brother water was so clear. 💪 🎣
Hahaha maybe in the future yes!
Ew carp fishing? Why in the world would you want to do that lol
People make fun of me for buying expensive rods but the sensitivity you get with good rods make the difference somtimes
DUDE TOTALLY DIGGIN THIS 🤙🤙🏡
Thanks my bro!
A little more weight will help you detect those light bites. I always resisted buying higher end weights, like tungsten, but after using a little more weight, I'm a believer.
I’m sure it may help a tad but cuz of how clear the water was I didn’t wanna overdue it. Tried to keep it as small as possible
The sign said STP, but no way you caught them anyway. That was very cool to see reactions. Thanks for sharing that video.
STOP, NOT STP.😂🤣😂
Hahahaha heck yea you bet 👍🏼
That is so sweet 👍👍👍👍
🙏🏼🙏🏼
The spots you stopped are super pressured. We fish the middle sections between the bridges and catch much nicer fish than the bridges produce. In that section you fished we've caught large and small mouth, tilapia, stripper, channel and flathead catfish. There is a ton of carp but we don't fish for them. The biggest channel cat was 7lbs.
We’ve yet to catch any cats out there but always wondered. I chose the bridge for the video cuz it was easier for the GoPro. I think next time I go I’ll probably just park and walk the canal
That is how we usually do it. My daughter loves fishing the canal so we hit it often during the warmer months. Where this canal comes off the main canal we counted at least 300 carp, the canal is super clean and the water was crystal clear. They did drain sections of it this winter and I could smell rotting fish so hopefully some of the good size fish were saved.
dang thats wild i will have to go up to where it branches off. Hopefully didnt kill them all off@@zealousoutdoors
Probably would have felt those bites with a higher end rod. I use a Zodias for my dropshot fishing and it's made a huge difference since most bodies of water are super pressured. The fish are finicky.
Maybe , something a little flimsier woulda helped. It was all about showing the bite underwater tho so I didn’t mind missing fish. Its wild to see them most the time suck it in and sit there tho lol
@@TheFishinMagician20 The bits at the urban lakes and canals are so light. It is pretty amazing how they can steal baits. I agree it was cool to see what's actually under there with the camera.
I have been thinking about doing this also. My question is how to keep stability with go-pro camera when underwater with currents pushing on camera. Thank you.
The slider keeps it in place for the most part but you’ll always have current if there is some
I love your video's there the best
Thank you 🙏🏼
Cool wanna see some big ones
Lots of baby bass
100,000 views incoming
Sheesh let’s see how this ages 😅 you just jinxed me
Future predicted 🤝
@@TheFishinMagician20 twice now lmao
insane video.awesome job bro.
🙏🏼 thank you
Back to the og content I see
Had to switch it up a bit
Are there any go-pro type underwater cameras that operate like drones with first person real time video using a smartphone with vr goggles? Thanx! If not a video signal wire along the camera tether line theoretically could be installed?
Not that I am aware of. And I’m not sure on that! I am hoping they come out with one at some point tho
😂 dude, i was in Scottsdale the other day, at the Regents apartments off of Frank Lloyd Write, and was walking the canal. I looked down into the canal, and saw 2 massive carp. I think they where carp. Looked that way. But they had to be better than 8-10 pounds. But the Salt River project has it all gated off. I was about to shit myself at the audacity. Its water, go away an let us fish it!
this video was s fire ngl
I appreciate you 🔥
use a much darker minnow bait on bright days
So basically 350 days a year around these parts 😂
another great video!
Thank you! 🙏🏼 trying to keep it fresh out here
You can literally swim in those with no worries ✅
nice video bro ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thank you man!
Would be better with a float on the line for bite detection, and a smaller hook. They are small fish you are catching, not sharks. Red worms or maggots would catch them easily. We fish differently in the UK.
Isane for watching .😊
🔥🔥
Those Bass are starving. you can see it in the underwater footage.
Yea the largemouth forsure, the smallies seem mostly healthy tho
Where are all the big ones ? Looks like someone just stocked that canal.
We think someone’s been taking the big ones out of there. Sucks to see 😢
I lived in Parker, AZ back in the late 80s early 90's in high school and in winter I'd go sit on the bank of the river with a can of corn and a can of store brand biscuits. And just fish for carp cause they're huge and they'll put up a good fight. I'd just release them back and one day a game & fish warden saw me, and asked what I was fishing for I told him I'm just fishing carp catch and release.. he said, don't release them, they're tearing up the river, over populating and pushing out the bass. He said just kill them and send them down the river. So that's what we did. But they are fun to catch. You can literally catch them on a corn dog. ha
2nd spot is good but too many locals swimming and being litter bugs in the canal. Got a few good size bass and a tilapia before they arrived.
I believe it! All those areas look like the pressure is insane
Can you see the fish on your phone , or do you have to record them down load?
Record then download
You got to do an underwater carp vid ❤
It’s coming soon, I have a few areas that have to clear up before I try
@@TheFishinMagician20 very cool! By the way this is my favorite fishing channel 👍
So, are there any big bass in Arizona? Florida would like to know
Eh, you’ll get the pond bass that are 4-5 sometimes a rare 7-8. Most cabal bass are 1-2. The bigger reservoirs here have 10-12lber but few and far between.
@@TheFishinMagician20 ok keep flying the fishing flag
Where is this canal
Video hasn’t even premiered yet and we already asking for spots 😅
😂
@@dahlsalmon not about being selfish, it’s the fact that I have an audience of 20k + people. Out of those let’s say only 100 go fish this pot. Thats a ton of people pressuring fish right? Out of those let’s say only 10 keep fish and only 2 people leave trash. Pretty soon cycle repeats cuz once it’s on TH-cam it’s there forever. Then the spot is no more due to pressure, people keeping fish, people leaving trash. As a creator you see it more, most people just say you’re “selfish” but we really are just trying to preserve the spot.
It’s in Indian school road
@@FishingWithPorter ik ya🤣😂
My Nephew lives out there and used to fish those a lot. Caught huge carp and Cats
Awesome it’s a cool canal, we have yet to get the catfish.
Which canal was it?
I think you are exposing your hook too much
Not really any way not to with live bait
Beautiful cast for a beautiful man 😅 I still remember that 😂😂🤫
LMAO
Its illegal to sink trees for structure in Arizona? Really? I guess you better make sure no one sees you do it then.
I almost choked on my pizza on the "yeet" part
😂😂😂
Use an ultra light rod
Last time i went fishing i caught two micro bass lol😅
Happens brother hahaha
I wonder why no other fish. No catfish, only 1 carp, no shad, no stripers, no white bass (sand bass), no green sunfish, and no crappie. Only 4 of the sunfish species, and all juveniles. What canal is this? Not the aquaduct?
Yea pretty wild right? This is a canal in AZ not the CA aqueduct
where is this?
Bro let’s go fishing together. We fish that canal all the time , my kids watch you all the time
Thank you all for watching 🙏🏼 unfortunately my time mostly is spent filming 🫠
Dang okay well maybe we will see you out there sometime,, 😊 I’ll be there this weekend..
Looking to get one of those big bass ,, they wouldn’t hit anything we threw at them lol
Where is a good canal near surprise az for catfishing in your opinion?
i havent fished up there much honestly but the one on cactus and 51st holds them
@@TheFishinMagician20 let me know if you want to link up I got some fire catches I’d like to show u as well as spots.
Was this live video?
No I watched it back after
you arent feeling it because you have A LOT off weight on for this kind of fishing. I also recommend flourocarbon as it stretches much less than mono. Just my guess though, Ive been wrong before and have no doubt I could be wrong now. Just my experience from basically ultra light fishing only.
lol 2 small splitshots is too heavy? 😂
It LOOKS like you're using 1.5g or 2g split shot. I just feel maybe 0.2g or 0.5g might be a better option if you're regularly not feeling bites.
Your rod is too stiff. You need parabolic rods for live baiting. Buy the way nice footage the underwater filming makes fun.
I’ve done pretty well with this rod it terms of livebait, most the time I use a bobber tho, so for the video I set it down so y’all could see.
YOU DID MY VIDEO IDEA
lol ta da 🎉
You caught some bait.
Those are baby bass, what's the big deal?
I’ve always wanted to put my GoPro on my fishing line. I just don’t know how to though 🤷♂️
You’ll get a good idea of a way to try in this vid 👍🏼
Go pro failure seems to be a very common thing.
oOoOOh, you really need to go fishing with me in that canal there way better spot with bigger fish in that area.
I’ve been up and down it but the bridges are easiest for filming
@@TheFishinMagician20 caught flatheads there yet?
@@TheFishinMagician20 there flathead right under the big bridge
Once I set the hook so hard I made the bluegill come out of the water to shore😂
It happens 😂😂
@@TheFishinMagician20 I love your channel because you are a local guy. Never had any luck on fishing the rim. Where do you catch the trout on the salt river?
@@azbandit2747 I appreciate it man. Really? I’ve never skunk on the rim. Those stocking schedules are key. All over the salt, bridge is most popular
@@TheFishinMagician20 Growing up I have had luck. The last 2 trips I went in mid May and caught just crayfish.
Loooks like phoenix Az....to me. ....but maybe Calif.....because Az put more carp in the canals than bass. Fish get hungry in canals because there is a shortage of things to eat. I recall years ago a woman was murdered on a bike trail next to a canal in North Phx. I knew a guy who used to fish the canals there and one day a ball popped up right in front of him, and rolled over to freak him out as it was that girls head ! The police were looking for the killer, but I DON'T believe he was ever caught. There was a Danny's right near this location and It's rumored employees hear a skinny tan guy 9n a bike talking to himself that he cut off THAT girls head, then said did you hear me say that ??......but the employees DIDN'T tell the police , even though at least 4 heard him say it. The guy split on his bike, and never came back. That guy never fished there after that incident. I believe this happened in the 90's.
Insane
Why put “insane” in the title?
Your videos are fantastic. You may get more bites with a small wire mosquito hook with those little minnows and worms with that size of fish.
Thanks! This was a size 6 mosquito hook, could’ve went maybe size 10 but I was like eh 6 is fine
Well, your video taught me something. Don’t bother fishing in that canal. All I see is minnows.
lol right. There used to be better fish here but everyone started keeping them. Sucks to see
My gf keeps borrowing my gopro float, what the heck man.
😂😂
Yo me and my dad was wondering if we can go fishing together?
I do t really have the time to fish with anyone yet at least. Gotta get ahead on my content before that 👍🏼
Hi
Yo
Like yer scratching friend!
