I have found that photobucket tries my patience. The video worked for me(thanks for sharing Brian), but it took several minutes to load all the ads and such before letting me view the video.

PhotoBucket is terrible...they ruined it a few years ago:

But try this direct link and see if you can watch it.

That was a 3/4 pound of feed thrown in 9 seconds, gone in less than 30 seconds. I fed nine 9 second throws per day last year. Fish will be bigger this year, but I think I'm at my max feed budget.

Photobucket is terrible!! I only use it so I can post pics on this site. Might be better if I had a paid account??

it opened fine that time.

that must be a texas hunter feeder? i have a sweeney and my friend said my sweeney throws as much in a 1 second cycle as his texas hunter does in 8 seconds.

that explains a lot, i have always wondered because people on here post about 5-10 second feedings. i couldn't imagine how they could afford to feed that much. i currently am feeding 3 times a day, 1 second each time.

I'm going to try to video my BG feeding on Optimal as soon as it warms up again. (four day cold snap-20s-50s). Week before last they were so aggressive they looked like the classical piranhas swarming in films.

Brian...PhotoBucket is not really any better with a paid account. They weren't making any money, so they completely changed the site a few years ago and ruined it. They changed the user friendly edit program (you can still find old edit program at FotoFlexer.com).

The newer version of PhotoBucket is "clunky", slow, and just generally sucks.

You can create URL's at PostImage.org with or without an account...but PostImage has basically no edit functions except sizing. So I edit somewhere else then create the picture URL at PostImage.org

Only way to know is to catch and weigh what it throws. My TH throws 1/2 pound every 6 seconds. I have a hard time thinking your feeder throws 3/4 pound per second, but guess it is possible. Weigh it and let us know. that would be interesting to see the difference.

this is my first try with google photos. i usually use photobucket, but my satelite internet keeps kicking off today. this video was today at 7 eastern time. a little cool, but it didn't slow them down. this is a 1 second feeding from a sweeney.

Sweet! Well done Scott. Reminds me of those old movies where the piranhas eat the bad guy!

Some yellow perch feeding. They are not really energetic as they tend to take the feed from the side of their mouth. This is about 400 in one acre pond.

Cheers Don.

Thanks , The video means a lot to me. It is the last one we have of the little one with Gramps that passed only weeks later with a heart attack. The little dog (Max) figured out how to catch the catfish easier by running the edge at feeding time and pouncing about a week later.

What all kinds of fish were those, Al?

awesome videos guys. I should be getting my fish in a couple weeks and hope I can start having my own feeding frenzy soon.
reminds me of when I lived on martha's vineyard and fishing for bluefish blitzing on top of the water destroying bait balls. now if you could only get those fish in a pond. they attacked lures like no other and gotta be pound for pound one of the best fighting fish.
