"Three or three and a half miles per hour.." Um, boat speed is in knots, not MPH

[@boatus]

Andrew, that's a really great point! You're not incorrect, but the modern terminology has changed in certain cases. Here's why Lenny uses MPH vs. knots:
As you very correctly point out, boat speed is historically measured in knots because that’s what you have to use if you are navigating using a paper chart and the distance is measured using a set of dividers. As you likely know, 1 minute of latitude is equal to 1 knot, which is the scale used on charts. With the advent of faster boats, when folks were going out for the day and started navigating by line of sight, paper charts became largely unnecessary. I think that the outboard folks started to measure speed in miles per hour as a marketing tool: 23 mph sounds faster than 20 knots.
While we show some bigger fishing boats in the video clips, Lenny's own boat is a twin screw outboard fishing cat, so he generally defaults to MPH, not knots.
That said, for the purposes of this particular video, whether you prefer/use MPH or knots, the point is that you may need to speed up or slow down your boat a little if you're not catching fish.

talking to much and shows nothing just shade

[@boatus]

Thanks for your honest feedback, István. I'm not sure about the "shade" you mention -- the footage looks OK on my screen. We are planning more trolling videos, so we will take your comments into consideration during the process.
