Ever get tangled around the camera line?

[Gillgrabber]

I usually put my camera down a separate hole from the one I'm fishing in.  Anyone ever hook a fish that wraps the line around the camera line making it tough to get either up?  If you use a separate hole, how far away do you put yours?

I was actually stuck on bottom once, grabbed the camera to see where it was stuck, and ended up pulling up a clump of line with a ~20" salmon on it...I was shocked.

Usually we set up the camera in one hole of the shack and jig in the other. I would say they are 3' apart.

I have had to cut and untangle a fiesty 4 pound Pikerel from my camera once, the thrashing he gave the camera was bad enough that it snapped off one of the tripod legs ! I drill my camera hole off to the side like lewk said
about 3 foot, I line up all 3 holes so I can watch both lures at the same time.

I think I end up a little further then 3 feet.  I might set mine four or five feet away.  I like to have a nice view of two lines and everything around.  I would say that three feet is a minimum for me.  Never had a fish get tangled.... YET!

I never had any trouble with mine,I set the camera about 2 feet from the holes that I fish. I have caught some 5lb. bass and never got tangled.    Jerry

I use a separate hole for mine also and the only tangle I have had was when a snot rocket got all the lines in the shack and the camera cable tangled together.

Separate hole always, and usually 3 to 4 feet apart. I have had fish wrap  but very rare.

I all so put the camera 3-4 feet away only had a few tangles

I usually down view and will space the holes according to the water clarity. I like to stay up several feet but sometimes I have to go lower to see my jig.. I have a few fish wrap but still land most of them

[smontague]

I jig for pike with a camera, and usually only have my camera hole 15-20 inches away. Never had a problem getting a fish caught in the camera cord, but I`m sure it`ll happen sooner or later.
