A lot of you photography guys already know this but some of you may want to try this. If nothing else it is fun. When my feeder goes off my lmb usually brake the surface chasing cnbg. I have started using the video camera ON MY PHONE to film the feeding frenzy. I know exactly what time the feeder goes off so I start filming a few seconds before. If nothing exciting happens then I just delete the video and save the space on my phone. But...yesterday I had about a 5-6 pound lmb jump out the water with about a 9 inch cnbg in her mouth!!. Now here is what I learned...I can play the video on my phone...zoom in on the area where the bass broke...and quickly hit pause when she comes out of the water!!! Then I take a "snapshot" of that image and I have a very cool photo of my lmb feeding!! Just thought I would pass this on!! I still have trouble putting pictures on this forum but at least I figured that out!! Hah!
Dear Alcohol, We had a deal where you would make me funnier, smarter, and a better dancer... I saw the video... We need to talk.

Here's a trick that works on some phones -- if you hold down the shutter button it will start taking rapid-fire still shots. You can delete the dud photos easily too afterwards.
Thank you Rusto for posting those photos. I wasn't bragging about the QUALITY of my photo...I was just trying to give others an idea if they wanted to try it themselves! Hah!

Bocomo, I checked and my phone does what you said!! I'll have to figure out how to put that "into play" when the feeder goes off. Probably be a LOT easier than the way I had to do it to get those 2 pictures!! Thank you for the tip! I had about a 8 pounder the other day got on top like that and the bluegill got hung up in her mouth and she stayed on top fighting it like a great white shark until the bluegill popped out her mouth and she went back down!! Naturally I wasn't filming that time but dang that was fun to watch!!!

I look forward to the day when you show a picture of a 10#+ pound LMB tossing a 2#+ CNBG !!
