Thank you, I can't believe I got the footage!! I've filmed Muskie before, but never like this. I was filming a huge bait ball, primarily following Small and Largemouth Bass on their hunt. I was heading down the ridge of the drop-off looking for more Bass when I stumbled upon the lone muskie. I love how the baitfish obscure the shot as I follow it.
Really cool footage of that spotted musky, beautiful, see the bass and bluegill hanging out in the background as the Apex rules his territory! Keep at it, hopefully get a 50 incher on film with your underwater ROV! I plan on using Mega 360 and Livescope to track some musky down, then sending my ROVs out, kind of sneak up on'em, they're not easy to catch on film!
Thank you, they're such a hard species to film because finding them isn't easy at all. The one pictured is likely close to 40 inches which isn't too bad. But I am happy to film any size muskie because even in a lake loaded with them, I might only be lucky to find one a year with my drone. I've used live scope with my BlueROv, and M2 Pro, mixed results because many times the marks end up being pike. The best way to be sneaky with these fish is to keep your distance. The fish get distracted by the drone. In this video, I just wanted to capture the brilliance of the muskie so I got right on top of it. But I have learned that if I can maintain the drone at a distance of around 10 to 15 ft, and keep the subject in view, they won't get sidetracked by the ROV, and will go about their day as if I wasn't there. It's hard to keep a distance but so far this type of filming has paid off. I was actually lucky enough to capture a video of small and largemouth hunting a bait ball. Not easy to film as it took me three years to get it right, but the footage is awesome in my opinion and I am so happy to share it with the fishing community. Good luck with your adventures!! tight lines!
This is awesome and incredible footage!
