Chad,

As was a big topic of interest on Saturday (as Pete knows very well), the proper figure 8 technique would be an interesting topic. I think a big thing I took from last weekend was setting the hook back into the fish during a figure 8 strike. Maybe throw in some technique on the "L-turn" and when it is applicable. Something I wouldn't mind seeing or learning is how various lures react differently in a figure 8 (topwaters vs. bucktails, etc) and how to overcome their differences. In addition, your technique for sticking the rod completely in the water when a "hot fish" comes in on the figure 8 was helpful.

Also, as I learned on my spring trip, the proper technique for working a glider bait was extremely useful. I think others would find your presentation of a glider bait very helpful. I think going through the "pause" technique where the glider bait essentially stands in place was great.

Just a couple ideas from things I learned from you this year that I thought others would appreciate.
