Sweet, different pics from what I saw. What a flippin horse. Rumored to be 5lbs heavier when the DNR tagged it in the spring! Amazing coloration on that fish - wonder if the fins were reddish when he caught it.

Anyone have the length and girth of that fish? I saw that it was 50lbs 8oz but no measurements. What a hog!

In the pic on the bottom, it looks bigger than the Louis Spray Muskie...

It probably was, it just didn't have all the extra sand wieght wink

And to think I never started fishing muskies until I moved away from Michigan. Guess I should have started earlier. Those fish out there definitely have some awesome color in them. I've caught a few, and they are all very nice looking fish.

Yeah I think the pics look kind of weird too - but maybe just because the size of that fish is so big. I can sure see why there is so much scrutiny regarding the world record fish and the disputes that surround the various records...the pic of this fish sure looks like it could rival any of the world record fish pics out there...

Yep, weighed on 4 different certified scales, and a fish that was tagged by the dnr earlier this year at the same length. From the sounds of it the color is due to where it was caught, in a very deep and clear lake, >300 feet deep IIRC. It is also a great lakes strain fish.

You guys are too funny. An officially weighed muskie with multiple good pics, and yet you guys still arn't satisfied.

I agree muskieboy. It use to be that if you didn't have a picture of a fish that you caught, no one would believe it (this still happens). Now, when a legit picture and official weight are taken, it is still being criticized. What more do some of you folks want?

It looks weird to many of you because:

1. It's a great lakes strain fish. They have different coloration then the ones around here.

and

2. It's dead. The only fish pics most of us even see anymore are from live fish. There is a HUGE difference! Personally I like the pics of the live ones best...

I think you are right Shawn.

I love looking at big fish pictures, and really don’t care the size, but this one just stood out as being unique as far as the fish’s appearance. Almost looks cartoonish to me.

Don’t confuse that with being negative or not believing it’s real.

lol I was thinking the same thing.

The only reason the photos look a little fishy is because there's a BIG FISH in 'em!

They might look a bit odd, because I mean really, how often do we actually get to see NEW, GOOD pictures of a new state record musky, or anything even close??

That is the prettiest musky, and prettiest picture of a musky I've ever seen a picture of. They really lucked out on a nice sunny day to catch those colors. It's sure going to make a beautiful mount.

      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.
