Minnesota Fishing Videos - 04/27/08 11:10 PM
Here are the acutal videos instead of links.  These were taken with a Flip Video camera.  I have found the camera to be extremely easy and fun to use.  I can carry it in my pocket and the batteries don't run down-unlike some video cameras.  These were done at the 41st annual charitiy event benefiting Leukemia.  It was a ton of fun-although it was very cold and windy.  The website for the Leukemia organization is http://lls.org
