DrRodney posted this in the Alex forum. I was doing some reading on the tournies in other states and it's absurd how big the crappies are down south. In the Alabama River Tournament the average fish in a 14 fish bag was 2.26!

fishuhalik,

Went down to Norfolk Lake in Arkansas this past spring to a friends resort. He asked me if we wanted Crappie for dinner.

We went down to his dock and vertically jigged kastmaster spoons and promptly caught 3 crappies which was enough to feed 8 people. The Crappies measured 19", 21" and 23".His dock measures 50'x100' and essentially is structure for these monster Crappies. Had some large Walleyes down there as well - caught them the next day a few slips over. He lowered his Aqua View down there and it looked like an aquarium - yes there are huge Crappies and Walleyes down south!

juggs,

Not world record I'm sure but the largest weighed 4plus lbs. - can't remember the actual weight and they were pre spawn - no eggs at all.Just checked the world record Crappie - Kentucky 4-14 and 21" - ours wasn't as thick as that but fairly close. I always thought the world record would be a lot larger. I do have pictures and have been thinking about getting some replicas made for a 3 fish mount. If I figure out how to post them here I'll get them up.

MN State record is 5lbs, IGFA world record black crappie is 4lbs 8oz. The 4lb 14oz that was mentioned in a previous post was a hybrid so no IGFA record. Lots of state records are over 4lbs 8oz, they must not have been IGFA certified. A 23" crappie would be well over 5 lbs, Arkansas state records for whites and blacks are in the mid 4 lb range. No doubt at 4 plus lbs he would be close to an IGFA world record and state record.

fishuhalik,

Thanks for posting that for me. No small hands - I'm about 5-9 and 215 Lbs with average sized hands. As I mentioned to you, the other 2 pictures were slightly out of focus and didn't scan well. The walleyes we caught were nothing special - 4-5 lbs. so they weren't worth posting but they were very tasty!

Caught these on Memorial day of this year, along with some nice Stripers and some decent largemouth. The guy that owned the resort fished the BASS and FLW circuits down there and considered himself pretty good until he went up against the Van Dams and Iconelli's of the world. Thanks again.

      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

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
