58-inch-musky-009.jpg

From what I’ve read, the measurement might have even been a little conservative (maybe 60).

Just a beast and congrats to the hunters that boated it!!!!

Probably another state record released to make more memories. That’s the coolest part.

I really hope somebody bought the other pictures of this fish. Terrible photograph, waves or no waves. I'd hate to be dissapointed by another big fish story. and i KNOW they don't take the pictures for me, but if this kind of thing is going to go totally public you might as well have some good proof of the size. Sorry to bring this thread in that direction, but I've gotten better pictures in bad conditions by myself.

from what I understand, the resort or lodge or wherever these guys caught this fish out of put it up. Not the fisherman themselves, but still. I'm sure they didn't expect it to make such a big splash all over the web, or maybe they did I don't know. Just a dissapointing photo is all. Story of the year for some big fish I guess.

Easier said then done with 2-3 ft rollers, gusting wind, and freezing temps, with a 50 pound fish in your lap laugh

its called adrenaline laugh i would be so pumped after catching a fish like that i would probably fall out of the boat

I got your back bronze...

If a fish of that magnitude ever graces the bow of my boat I will ensure that my pics are of exceptional quality. You will only get one chance in your entire life to pose a fish like that. Regardless of if it goes public or not... I want a good pic of me and my fish of a lifetime.

Don't take it for granted. The first thing I do in my boat is teach others how to use my camera. I would have tied the anchor to this photographers leg and pushed him off the side of the boat for botching this one. smile

Yeah same here. I realize it is 50lbs and very windy... but if someday I catch a fish like that there will be multiple pics showing the whole fish. If I caught that fish in a hurricane I would make sure I had at least 1 pic of the whole fish.

I think I'm starting to notice a pattern...somebody catches a big fish, takes a picture or two and releases it. Sometime later the pictures end up on the internet and people pick them apart and criticize poor photography and talk about taking lots of pictures of big fish in adverse conditions. Meanwhile other threads criticize people who take too long to release a smaller, but still nice (say 40 inch or so) fish because they want to get lots of good pictures. Please don't get all "holier-than-thou" when somebody wants to take a couple pictures of a fish or handles one differently than you or, heaven forbid, keeps one and then run your mouth and say you would take lots of pictures of a trophy fish, even in conditions that would likely harm it if exposed for any serious amount of time. I think the anglers that caught this fish should be congratulated for their catch and it's quick release.

hey ole matty like i said up there, I know they didn't take the pictures for ME. but if the story is going to be up all over it'd be nice if the pictures were more effective.

i 100 percent agree that a better picture would be great but a picture better than no picture at all

we dont know their stories.. maybe they want us to vent our head off bashin and later on they post better pictures? or maybe their camera ran out of batteries after one picture? or they was fishing by rocks bar and dont want windy to push the boat against rock and they have to released it quick than they want to? who know really???????????

again even for a half of picture thats a really nice fish..

      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.
