Fishing line attached to quick release attached to end of fin of downrigger ball. Camera attached to side of fin on downrigger ball and pointed back. A stiff cross current can swing the bait to one side of the screen though.

Not a tutorial, just some observations.

That is why I buy only floating gaffs.

Props Greg, great job as usual.

You guys should have seen me BB (Before Buttchaser). He coached me right through my first 20+ Halibut step-by-step. All I could say after was "Is it really that easy?"
