“Big Bass Territory” | Part #2 of the MFCC Fishing Trip
October 15, 2014

Way back during early spring of 2014, while fishing for schoolie stripers, I dropped my GoPro Hero 2 camera into a puddle. The circuit board instantly fried and the camera died on the spot. DOH! I’ve broken or lost a total of 4 GoPro cameras since starting MFCC, and I knew it would be at
