Musky Lures and Dogs!!!

I wanted to share a story that happened to me on friday. I got to my cabin on island lake north of duluth, my kids noticed how high the water was. I told them to go and put a stick at the water level so we could check how much it came up before we left on sunday. I was unloading the truck when they came running back to me crying, we have a 3 year weimaraner named porter. My 6 year old daughter picked up a 10" swiveled musky lure which porter jumped up to grab. Well he got it stuck right through his nose, I ran down to the beach to see what was going on, he was trying to get it out yepling and rubbing it in the sand. I ran to the garage and grabbed a pair of linemans side cutters, when I got back to the beach he had buried a hook near his dew claw on his right paw. So here is a 80# dog that has muscles adrian peterson would be proud of with his head suck to his leg. Let me tell you the sound of kids and this dog screaming could be heard across the lake. Well to make a long story short I pulled the hook out of his leg and cut the barb and removed the one in his nose and he was fine. But looking back what if I wasnt there? Im 5'10" 210 a short fat guy that did all I could do to hold him down. And imagine if the kids would have tried to help him!! Ive always known fishing hooks could be dangerous, but i never thought this could happen. Keep your eyes open for things that float in that you cant control!! Sometimes life can sure be crazy!!!

Ditto that story !

When my wirehair was about 2 1/2 years old she was out In the yard when we heard "the sound" It was night and she found one of my Poe's giant jackpot top water lures,about 10 inches long..............

When we ran out and saw her front leg hooked with the front hook and the back treble was buried In her stomache.she was hobbling around making sounds I hope I never hear again ! we cut the front hook off with no problem and broke my sidecutters trying to cut the rear hooks.

we ended up at the vet a 10:00 pm

Wow, that sounds like quite an ordeal! Glad to hear the pooch and kids are okay. My lab grabbed at a rapala in my hand and got a hook in his nose just barely, could have been bad but makes you really pay attention.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
