Ike’s still my fishing idol. I saw the whole thing and kind of felt that the tie was rigged. I’d probably go Ike too if I knew all I had to do was catch a 14incher to win my 100k. I mean, after all he was catching fish over 14 inches all day. Why can’t he just do it one more time, right? Perhaps he snapped and couldn’t stop himself or that’s how he wants to act. Though he’s still my role model, I don’t think I could break my pole and throw it away. I’d probably just do the yelling part for a very long time.

I dont want to beat a dead horse, so I won't express all of my thoughts.

Here is a fresh take that hasn't been brought up yet. I believe Ike cares more about how he is seen as a fisherman and the legacy that he leaves behind. In my recollection, Ike has come so close to making it over he edge, only to fall short over and over again. This was just another scenerio where he it was so close to being "his time" as he likes to say, and he fell short, which led to him blowing a gasket.

Don't get me wrong I think in the heat of the moment, there isn't anyone as childish as he is, but when it is all said and done he is the first one shaking the victors hand.

I'm not sure what you mean, Ike has already won a classic. How is that falling short? He already had his big moment on top of the world, I don't fault him for wanting it to happen again but the way he goes about it makes him look like a baby and an [PoorWordUsage].

All I'm going to say is that you guys that think he acted like a jerk, how would you ack if you just lost $150,000 ($100,000 + boat) in a sudden death fishoff? I say if you wouldn't be pizzed you either have way to much money or don't have the competitiveness it takes to be in that spot.

Nobody knows what KVD or Skeet Reese do off camera when they lose, for all we know they could go home and kick the dog. So he broke a $100 rod, big deal. I would have done the same thing too.

How about the baseball player that strikes out and breaks his bat over his knee or, watch any hockey lately? How many players have you seen crack their sticks in half on the ice after a missed goal? Plenty of athletes out there doing the same thing over something far less trivial.

WHO CARES!!! Ike is the man. Haters are gonna hate. Bottom line is he is one of the top bass fisherman in the world, one of the most entertaining, and definetly one of the most marketable. He isn't going away so either dont watch him or stop complaining about stupid stuff. NEVER GIVE UUUUPPPPPPP!!!!!

so, basically it's OK to act like a spoiled, petulant child if:

1. you're a great angler

2. there's a lot of money on the line

I don't think I'll raise my boys that way, but to each his own. Free country and all. Me, I think it shows more character to be classy especially when the frustration is high, but then I'm funny that way.

      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.
