| Bob M. featured this video clip in his presentation at the Chicago show. he called this "technique" the "Motion Commotion"; i think his point was that if a fish is hot enough it's gonna eat if it get stimulated to the right level. he's caught an awful lot of fish on film over the years, and more than a few of those on the standard figure 8...except when using the jackpot, Bob says to never figure 8 the jackpot!  | |||

I noticed on his Muskie Matrix video on youtube he didnt figure eight when that first big fish followed his jackpot in....just picked the lure up out of the water and dropped it back down. | ||

Looks like he did a better figure 8 with the fish attatched to the bait  Sweet... I want to try that with fish that go in circles, but then again... it will be hard to take that kind of chance! | |||

Posts: 2270 Location: SE, WI. | COOL VIDEO; YOU HAVE TO TRY SOMETHING TO TRIGGER THOSE THINGS. aCOUPLE OF TECHNIQUES THAT HAS WORKED FOR US OVER THE YEARS IS , AFTER FIGURE 8 ING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES IS TO BRING YOUR BUCKTAIL OUT OF THE WATER AND SLAP IT ON THE SURFACE. ALSO lAST YEAR ON THE WOODS I HAD A FISH FOLLOW FOR MINUTES, BUT FISH SEEMED TO GET TIRED SO I LET THE BUCKTAIL DOWN ABOUT 4 FEET AND JIGGED THE BUCK. THE 42 1/2 WAS MINE. | ||

On LOTW I've had a couple fish that I really feel it would have been harder to NOT catch. Once in a while you get the occasional fish that just won't take no for an answer, and this seems like one of those. Cool clip, although I don't plan on adapting that technique any time soon.  | |||

Posts: 697 Location: Minnetonka | Although I have to assume that the extra directional change of an actual figure 8 with a high outside rise would have triggered that fish, as it does most fish with the "fire in their eyes", I still cannot help but smile watching that technique work. Perseverance and creativity combined to put one in the net. | ||
