Been going through some raw footage I caught on my phone over the last few trips. Nothing professional, just random clips. I’m thinking about putting a short edit together.
But I realized I’m not even sure what I enjoy watching myself. Is it the big catches? Or the weird stuff?
The clips I have are a total mix:
Some decent bass catches
That one time we tried using a literal branch with some line tied to it (lol)
My dog just wandering around the bank/scaring the fish
A bunch of bloopers like missed hooksets and bird-nesting my reel
Honestly, the funniest parts are usually us just messing up or laughing at something stupid. I’m tempted to throw a clip into that LiTime contest I saw (fishing-fun-contest), but I’d rather the video be actually watchable first. What keeps you guys from scrolling past a fishing video? Do you prefer the pro vibe or just some chill/funny moments with friends?

It’s hard to say, I watch different creators for different experiences. Sometimes you want chill fishing content, and thats when ill watch someone like i_fish, or other times ill want more serious angling and ill watch Greg Blanchard. If I want to cringe alot ill watch Googan content, or the whole host of other YouTubers that make content for kids. No one creator can hit all the points that make watching fishing videos enjoyable. You kindof have to figure out what you want it to be and roll with it. Its actually quite an art form in some ways. There’s alot of ways to change how fishing videos feel as a watching experience. I think some creators dont experiment and mess around as much, but they’ve found a formula that works if they have been successful. The answer is YOU determine what you want to make, and that is all you can do.
