I was throwing a power grub and jig for anything that would bite and got into some smallmouth bass. After getting a couple on the grub, I tied on a chug bug, hopeing to get some topwater action. First cast to a patch of weeds brought out one of the biggest topwater strikes I have seen in a while. I set the hook, ready to do battle with a huge smallie, only to feel dead weight as I started to reel in. I thought mabye it got away in the weeds or something. I reeled in only to find about a 20 inch walleye, with the plug wedged in its mouth so it could not shut its jaws. After I removed the hooks, it started to put up a good fight, spilling a tackle box and disconnecting the fuel line from the tank.

Cyberfish-Knowing you, your'e tackle was probably alread half spread out all over the boat and your fuel line was already disconnected. I can't wait another story I get to here about 15 thousand times. I hope you don't see my post before Sun. I want to hear the story at least 5 times by then.

What Lake were you on? I assume this was while you were at camp this week. At least tell us if it was up at Lutherdell or at the cabin out on highway 12. BY THE WAY, what's with referring to a 20" walleye as "dead weight on the end of the line"?

We'll I only heard the story 3 times, but I wasn't around Cyb for every second after our tournament during the prime time for story telling.

As for GEM EYE GUY, a top water strike and any kind of fight is just two much for that pea sized eye brain to do in short order. Kind of like walking and chewing gum at the same time.
They may be gold on the outside, but I assure you that they are all blonde on the inside.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.

      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.
