Have you guys seen much video footage of Musky hitting on the Figure-8 or other boatside techniques? I was watching The Next Bite and they showed a few clips of this occuring and I thought it was fantastic for an inexperienced Musky hunter to "witness" that very important situation. Since I have only really seen it with a fish after my own bait, I usually do something stupid to spook it. I'd love to be able to watch more of these clips if available. Who knows, maybe theres a whole DVD of them out there that I don't know about?? It was so cool to actually see the fish following these baits through the patterns before they crushed them!!

Jay,
There are some DVD's with losts of boatside strikes and maybe 1 or 2 devoted to figure-8 strikes only. I have not had time to look for them yet but after I reply to 36 more emails, I will try to find them for you.

LOL No big hurry Red, I was just curious to see if there were any out there. I found a few more clips on YouTube over the weekend.

Jay,
Check your PM's.......I found a site with 57 online musky clips. Not sure how many of them are on the 8, however.

Cut and paste then select # 31 Fishing with Joe Bucher there is some great "8" footage at the end showing some amazing technique. It's the segment with Petros and a guide.
Take care,
