Did'nt have time to muskie fish today so I decided to put my big boat in the ohio river to take it for test drive , I picked up my spinning tackle and the box as an afterthought, after running around a while I stopped at the mouth of a creek , attached a 1 inch bait spinner, and let loose a big cast , thats when it happened ............... as the lure moved towards the boat ........ I .... broke into .... the figure *** 8 ***** Ha Ha Ha , A huge grin came upon my face ,I just figure 8'ed a 1 inch spinner fishing for white bass. No follows muskie fever is a great thing.

We had our club pool demonstration last Wednesday night and most of us were doing figure 8s at the end of each cast

No follows in the pool though?

I do a lot of poolside lure demos throughout the winter months, and it never fails. Pretty soon somebody in crowd is laughing, then I realize why... I'm trying to do a figure 8 in a "Hawg Trough". But I'm not the only one, Gregg Thomas does it after every cast in that #*^@ trough as well. Quite funny

While fishing tarpon down in Costa Rica, I had one come to the boat behind a jig I was working, the guide cursed very loudly in Spanish when he saw me lean over the boat and figure 8 a 100lb fish. I do it when fishing muskies, bass, whatever.....

I always find myself doing them all year long. I even do it when I'm jigging for walleyes in the spring sometimes. You never know what's behind your bait! LOL! I'm suprised I haven't done it ice fishing, you know you have a really bad addiction if you figure 8 in a eight inch hole!!
