That first fish surprised me when he came out of nowhere to snatch up that crayfish; I thought I was freeing the little guy. Those Smallmouth Bass do tend to follow the divers around like dogs looking for some help getting (crayfish) snacks.

Sony AS100v Action Cam. I got a 4K Sony FDR X3000 and a GoPro Hero 5 Black a couple years later, but they're not as good as that AS100v. I don't have any special settings -just put in underwater mode.

It's my understanding there is a vehicle at the bottom of the lake that fell through the ice decades ago. Would be neat to capture what it looks like today.

I go to the last parking area on the north entrance. There are a few places where entry/exit is easier there. Then swim south near shore for a hundred yards or so to get by the uw platform, signs, statue(s), big rocks. Or, after parking, walk south by the railroad tracks for a while until you find a relatively easy entry point.

This is near the north shore. Go to the very end of the last parking lot and walk south down the train tracks a couple hundred yards. There are a number of underwater structures in that area. The visibility hasn't been as good, though, this year the several times I've been there. Also, happy birthday!

Most of that video was shot in about 20-25 feet of water - about 20-50 feet from shore. The lake is about 44 feet at its deepest near the middle but there's not much to see out there. The underwater visibility was abnormally good the day I shot the video - and many other days that summer, but typically it can vary quite a bit even from one day to the next.
