Fishing photography: When everything comes together

I wanted to try something a bit different here. Fishing photography is just as important to me as fishing itself - I love it. I also love communicating about photographing fishing, so here's my attempt at a video which shows you when literally every single thing came together and I managed to shoot one of my favourite bass fishing photographs ever. If nobody ends up watching this video then so be it, but I wanted to give it a go and see where it might lead.............

True! Spontaneous photographs of fishers are the best

At last matey... please make more of these kinds of videos. I just watched this all the way through and for once the whole video is about the subject and not about the gear... nice one H, really enjoyed it..

Fantastic compilation Henry, your enthusiasm never seems to tire.I still remember the long haired young man fishing with Rick Stein !!!!

[@esoxchris]

Superb, as a wildlife photographer I truly get it. As an angler your images make me want to fish. Must try it with the camera myself sometime👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@henrygilbey302]

thank you, and especially coming from you!

[@markhoffman9655]

Brilliant photography and the walk through of the individual frames is a tour de force of action photography meerging into fishing action. Love to see more studies like this.

[@henrygilbey302]

thanks so much Mark!

[@henrygilbey302]

Wow, thank you so much Ann, more than kind........

[@I.have.an.std.]

Love it mate!! I’m taking GCSE photography and in the last few months have started putting together some decent photos of brown trout I’ve caught back in the summer. Something I’m really going to try and get into this year with bass and wrasse. Keep up the amazing work 💯🎣🎣

[@henrygilbey302]

Outstanding! Good luck with the GCSE, sounds so interesting, brown trout are such stunning fish.............

[@azraelairsoft]

cracking video mate!

[@henrygilbey302]

thank you!

[@Robert-gp7kx]

Hi Henry, just subscribed...so nice to see your passion about this tipe of photography. I'm a photographer too, but this is so nice to see. Cheers.

[@henrygilbey302]

Big thanks Robert, do you have a website where I can see your work?

[@OrcaAngler]

im in love with ur works, pls advise what range of focal point is the best for fishing photograph…

[@henrygilbey302]

Thank you so much! It's an impossible question though, there are so many different variables which go into focal length decisions and so on...........

[@davidcanocabrera9080]

Fucking awesome Henry! Thanks for that!

[@henrygilbey302]

Happy that you are happy, thank you!

[@McazO7]

Astonishing photography! Do you still fish in Morocco? I came across one of your blogs and wondered.

[@henrygilbey302]

Most kind, thank you! I only fished in Morocco once, loved it

[@paulaciia2179]

That padpack pro is interesting. What level of protection does it offer ? I’m lugging my kit around in a small hard case, taking a tumble on a reef is bad enough without smashing up expensive camera gear.

[@henrygilbey302]

my gear gets used hard but I try my best to look after it, that padpack thing works fine for me if that helps

[@barlow2976]

Your images are worthy of any angling mag cover, they just scream fishing. Your surf shots were seen by a lady friend who declared how exciting it looked, and she would like to try it, and I'm guessing that's a fairly common reaction to your work. Somehow my phone shots of a tired sea on a grey, wet, Welsh day just don't cut it:)

[@henrygilbey302]

Oh wow, thank you so much!!!! Makes my day to hear that a particular shot has elicited such a response!!!

[@theflyingfishman.]

We got it your passion and voice over ..... Unfortunately these days people will engage with the story in a reels and music to it may be with subtitles but the sexy fishing story line your trying to portray will be best suited with video clips and music put together.... will have a bigger impact but the text will tell the story.... just a suggestion and then there will be an uptake in Bass fishing even saltwater fly fishing a new niche. You have all the tools photos, video clips now just put them together with music and sub title story chat and it will go viral with the new younger generation, result achieved telling people new to fishing the experience of being one with nature is a great privilege ....

[@henrygilbey302]

Not sure I'm the person to be trying to cut "funky" music based fishing videos! For sure there is room for it, but perhaps I am better off leaving that sort of thing to the younger crowd?

[@seanmontovio2160]

Hi Henry, been having trouble with the sgs5 9ft 35g rod. I've used two different reels with two different braids and I've gotten wind knots both times. I have used these two reels for months with different rods with no problems. I've noticed the tip guides are rather small, should I leave my fg knot outside the guides?

[@kevinbuckler1085]

If it's any help I've got one of these and it's absolutely brilliant. Usually wind knots are caused by overloading with the braid,I use 20lb Fireline and loaded it very close to the lip,only had 1 wind knot !

[@seanmontovio2160]

@@kevinbuckler1085 Thanks Kevin, I've had the stradic and the caldia for over 6 months now and yet to have any wind knots, maybe just a coincidence that in the first 10 casts with both of these reels with the new rod I managed to get wind knots

[@henrygilbey302]

I do wonder whether your FG knot is catching in the rod guides. I don't get any wind knot issues with any of the rods, but my FG knot is always outside of my tip guide when I cast. In theory the FG knot works just fine with rod guides, but in practice it's going to catch occasionally.........

[@henrygilbey302]

Good to hear, I so love these SGS5 rods, got some really interesting new samples I am currently playing with

[@kevinbuckler1085]

@@seanmontovio2160 It could be the braid was loaded too loose, I’ve found you need to have a few casts first to bed it down tighter 🤞

[@NiallMurphyphotography]

Thanks for all your advice on wrasse fishing. Your photography is amazing. I'm also a photographer and fishing addict, do you have instagram?

[@henrygilbey302]

Thank you so much, where can I see your work? I have tried with Instagram but I don't really get it, have a look at my website www.henry-gilbey.com
