My fish of choice would be a smallie, (surprise) they are so fun to catch and sometimes observe. I've watched them chase my lure right on shore and even on top of rocks. The acrobatics, the fight. And i like to fish fish both on top and on the bottom.

hmm.. Pretty much any larger specimin of any fish (including "rough" fish) that put up a good fight will make me smile; However a bucket full of panfish or a few channel cats caught out of clean water, where I trust them to eat; (no Mississippi or Minnesota) will make my day grin.gif

I too enjoy watching others, kids in particular catch that first one. Nothing more enjoyable. I like panfishing but generaly like the one thats on my line the best. The exception would be roughfish. not fond of bullheads and the like.

what fish brings a smile, is if I get the first fish of the day and we have money on the 1st. one . I even grin when Billy the guide (nickname) has to pay up. I just love it, because I usually have to listen to him telling me how good he is. But it's all in fun, but more fun if I win. GAR

Not smiling that much are you WallEYES? smile.gif Or, that could explain the constant grin wink.gif

I've already said what makes me smile, smallies. But I've worked as a counselor at a fishing camp and well just the look on those kids eyes when they are the ones who catch more fish than the "grownup" in the boat is enough.

Hey beerfish you ever hook a Steelhead in 50+ degree water? You will know the meaning of having your hands full smile.gif

That is not to say Smallies ain't great fish, they do put a smile on your face when they come rocketing out of the water grin.gif

1) being in the boat when my dad, on one of his last fishing trips, lands a personal record pike on his favorite Ontario lake

2) seeing kids catch their first "big" (in their eyes) fish of any species

3) watching my oldest brother from Florida catch smallies

4) a 45 min. battle with a 30 lb king salmon on 20 lb mono

5) 22" smallie on 4 lb mono in a small SE MN river

6) landing a 51" Rainy River sturgeon on 6 lb. line 70 min. after my youngest brother sees the fish surface and says, "you're never going land that fish on that rig."

Those are a few favorite memories and fish.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
