| 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?  |

Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | 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 |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | 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..... |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | 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!! |
