Daniel Göz and Jan Bach Kristensen won top honors at the 2010 Drake Video Award contest during the Fly Fishing Retailers show in Denver earlier this month, by sharing the adventure of fly-fishing for tarpon out of float tubes…….freakin’ float tubes.  Seriously, this is some crazy good videography and the fish porn in it isn’t bad either.  Job well done to the both of them.  You can check out some of Dainel Goz’s photography and blog here and can see some of Jan Back Kristensen’s photography here, and had a write up back in March in an issue of This is Fly.  Both sites are definitely worth a look.

The Drake recently held its Drake Magazine Video Awards at the Fly Fishing Retailers show in Denver, and it looks like RA Beattie added another award with his short entitled “When Guiding Goes Gangster”, as it won “Best Humor” in the contest.  RA has a pretty good blog about the filming of it, the award, and a 7-11 trip after he won the award on his blog, which you can read by clicking here.  Anytime you can combine fly-fishing and Snoop you know something good will come of it.
