The Minimalist Fisherman

I almost didn't make this video because... well... LOOK AT ME. I'm a grotesque mess, and this infection (or whatever it is) came as a direct result of not being careful while fishing shallow, WARM, bacteria-loaded mucky ponds. But I mean... how can you say no when the bass are there, and willing to bite? You can't. And the good news is that you don't have to - but you better take these precautions RIGHT NOW, to protect yourself and your family.

It went well and the boat is still in use 6+ years later! We're going to go back and clean up as much footage as we can to walk through the steps to get the boat to a comfortable, functional place. It's awesome. From this point on I'll show you how everything is holding up and take a closer look at some of the modifications that were made. This was a great, relatively simple project that anyone can do. It’s also a great alternative to shelling out thousands on a brand new fishing boat if you just need a simple – but comfortable – alternative. Not to mention… it’s really fun.

Fix a Water Damaged GoPro Hero and Media Mod using this simple trick. NOTE: THIS IS A LAST EFFORT TECHNIQUE TO BE USED AFTER ALL OTHER METHODS HAVE FAILED! While the temperature should not harm your GoPro Hero or your GoPro Media Mod, only attempt these steps at your own risk. When I fell out of my kayak into the creek, my GoPro and Media Mod filled up with water. The ports, the battery compartment, the microphone... all of it. This caused my GoPro to stop working completely - it was damaged, ruined, and as you can see in the video the microphone shorted out before it stopped recording altogether. Fortunately, when I got home I was able to fire up a simple tool that sucked all of the excess moisture out of the water-logged components, completely repairing my GoPro & Media Mod. Sweet! Let me know how it works for you, and until next time tight lines. Let's keep getting better. | http://theminimalistfisherman.com/ LINK TO CREEK FISHING 101: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5vb5ShM2A5ps4n6nlYBWoXTYAWlO_ZK7
