More GoPro Light Testing - Night Kayak Fishing For Tarpon

Headed out to test the new (soon to be exchanged) GoPro light.  I only have a few days with it so wanted to put it through its paces.  Was able to play with a mystery fish and a nice Tarpon.  

The light works pretty well but for video I think I need to work on the angles.  I need to see how it works on my tall pole as well as on the head and chest mount.  It is still not too useful for distance shots but it does do a good job for when the fish is about to be landed as well as the money shot (holding the fish up for a photo/video).  I also have to figure out an angle so that the glare does not prohibit seeing the line as that indicates where the fish is going and how far out as well as ig it is going to jump.  Once I get the replacement light I will be able to do more with it and a proper review.
