Interesting article i heard about over the weekend about a very Big Bass caught on a nearby lake. If the Link I put on here doesn't work, the article is in the New Richland Newspaper. http://www.newrichlandstar.com/jnews/fea...eaver-lake.html

I think I would have weighed it. Just saying. But regardless, what a nice fish!

Congrats to her on a very nice catch. My personal best is a 22.25 and mine weighed 6lb 7oz - I caught mine in late July. I don't mean to harp or start a mess but I wish more people would look into replicas. It is well within their rights to keep but it will take 10-15 years to replace that 22 incher. Beaver is a small lake, prob not too many of those pigs in it. Not to mention, assuming good health, that fish was about 2-3 years away from being in the conversation for the next state record. It may be just me, but it looked a touch on the skinny side so I'm guessing upper 5lb range. Tough to tell from the photo though. Still... all and all, congrats.

In my avitar pic on the left there, I'm holding my personal best in my left and a 19.5 in my right. Those to fish and an 18 incher the eve of July 26th (wife's b-day), a couple years back, won our league event with 13 lb 14 oz. Not a bad 3 fish bag for Mn.

Ive caught several a few bass ugly bass this year. A 21" at 4.1 lbs, 20" at 3 lbs 14 oz, another 20.5 at 3 lbs 12oz. I call them the " northern bass" a big fish with long skinny body. That fish looks like a mid 5 pounder given that it has already spawned.

You guys are high, Id bet that fish goes 6lbs easy

Oh I agree, it could be 6 lbs, but the state record is 50% bigger than that.

It's got a huge head and solid shoulders, but it's skinny. Catch that thing late October and I'd put it between 7-8 lbs.

Have you had any replicas made? If so, who did you have do it? Or any recommendations on a good place to go for a replica? My taxidermist doesn't do replicas and am thinking of going that route in the future.

No actually I don't know a person that does replicas. I have a 5 ish lb bass a 16.5 inch Crappie (on the way), and a 10 lb 29.75inch Walleye on the wall. I've kind of made my mind up that I won't take another fish like that out of a lake. My next mountable fish will be measured and photographed and then I will find a place (hopefully affordable) that can do a replica. I've read several posts on this site in the past discussing places that do replicas. I'm sure if you post the question you'll get a ton of answers and ideas.

What are you guys paying for a good replica? Never done it before and have contemplated getting a replica done on a Waconia monster from a few years back. I have a photo and weight but didn't take measurements. It was in a tourney. Wish I would have taken the extra time now...

Leech, What is the cost (ballpark figure) on that pike you have coming? Also ballpark cost on your Bass. Congrats on the mount(s), I think it looks sweet. The reason I ask is My personal best Largemouth is a 22.25 and I recently caught and released a 42 inch musky. Would love to have replicas made of each.

Here's a few more pics of the bass. The pictures don't do it justice. It looks way better in person. Artistic Anglers is IMO the best out there. They do all the replica mounts you see in a Cabelas. You have to wait a lttle bit longer to get your mount done, but its worth the wait. The bass was like $375 and the pike is going to be around $600. They charge $13.50 an inch unless you order during the Sportsman Show then its $12.50. Thats funny, my bass came out of Waconia too!

Oh yeah, and the best part about Artistic Anglers is they put the fish in a natural postion so it looks more like artwork than what you normaly see with other taxidermists....the mouth gapping wider than normal and the gills flared out way beyond what is natural.

Good info Leech. Weird. Mine too was from same lake. Nice to hear that we've all released ours. My wife will freak when I tell her about my little plan as it will cost aroun 800.00 + for my 42 inch musky and the 22.25 inch Bass going by the numbers from the sportsmans show.

NTW' date=' how big is that fish in your avatar? quote']

I don't know eek It is my personal best and it was over 22" is about all I know for sure. I was alone and my mind was wiggin out after I caught it. All I could think to do was set up the camera for a quick picture and get it back in the water.

Funny thing is I followed the same procedure when my wife caught one about that size last year (freaking out and only getting pics)...I remember saying if it ever happens again I am getting a weight/length so I can tell people how big it was. whoops!

      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.
