Finally!

Post by jigman » Fri Sep 07, 2007 10:26 pm

I finally got a fish to go on the figure 8. After getting a beatiful 44 inch early i was working some weeds when i had a big boil behind my bucktail. As it got close to the boat i saw the fish right on it's tail. i went into the 8 and coming up on the second small circle the fish just engulfed the bucktail! Very cool to watch. turned out to be a nice 43 inch fish. Heck of a morning! My partner was a no show at the launch and is kicking himself now. mike.

That is freaking sweet jigman. I can't wait to tie onto a 40+" muskie.
To big boys in one day! WOW! Nice job. Can't wait to read the report and see some pix.

Congrats Mike. Figure 8 fish are sure fun. Nothing like a boat side blow up with 6" of line out to get your heart started.
Two fish days aren't to common either. Way to go buddy.

those 2 fish days do seem to be rare, that's only the 2nd for me this season. Unfortunately the only pics i got are of the fish in the net. Don't like to take them out if there is no one around to take a pic so I usually get a few shots in the net then release them. Mike.

That's the way we take our pics now even with two of us in the boat. Way to go. Congrats on the two fish.

I keep a tripod w/camera attached for the solo days in case of a good one. Self timer and smile.
