Kittens for bait?

For those of you who haven't heard about the pig with the wooden leg... let me tell it to ya.
------------
A salesman shared this story with my papa one day. He said he was goin' door to door tryin' to sell stuff in a farming community.

As he walked up to this one house, he saw a pigpen right next to the house. In the pen was a pig with a wooden leg. Curiously, he looked at the pig. Curiously, the pig looked back and snorted a couple times.

The salesman finally knocked on the door. An old farmer answered, saying, "Come in my friend! Come in! What brings you to my place this fine day?"

The salesman introduced himself and told the old farmer why he was in the neighborhood. After some small chit chat, the salesman asked if there was a missus in the house.

"Oh no," answered the old farmer. "It's just me and Miss Piggy out in the pen."

"Sorry to hear that," replied the salesman. "But, speaking of... ummm... Miss Piggy, did you say her name was?"

"Yessum," came a quick reply from the old farmer, big smile on his face.

"I'm kind of curious, why Miss Piggy has a wooden leg," inquired the salesman.

The old farmer suddenly came to life. "Miss Piggy is a wonderful pig! Why, she saved my life once!" The old farmer stood up and became quite animated as he told the story. "I was out plowin' the fields one day and had a heart attack. I was layin' on the ground, clutchin' my chest, and screamin' for help as loud as I could. Miss Piggy got out of her pen, ran out to where I was, drug me back to the house, grabbed the phone, and dialed 9-1-1 for me!" He then sat down and smiled at the salesman.

"Wow! That's quite an amazing story! But that still doesn't answer my question. Why does Miss Piggy have a wooden leg?"

Again, the old farmer got animated as he excitedly told another story. "Miss Piggy is such a wonderful pig! There was another time she saved my life! I was out in the barn one nite with my oil lamp. I had set the lamp down on a post so I could use both hands to clean things up. I accidently knocked the lantern over and the barn caught on fire. I was stuck in there!" He paused for a quick breath. The salesman staring on in amazement. The old farmer continued, "Miss Piggy got out of her pen again, rushed in through the flames, and led me to safety! She even helped put out the fire on my clothes!"

This went on for about an hour. Finally the salesman says, "Sir, I must get going. I have other stops to make. But could you please just answer my one question. Why does your pig have a wooden leg?"

"Welp," answered the old farmer. "With a pig as great as Miss Piggy, you don't wanna eat her all at once."

And there you have it. The story about the pig with a wooden leg.

I've heard stories about putting gophers in harnesses for muskies. I've never actually seen a gopher harness. I know there are baits that look like gophers at http://www.gopherbaitco.com/ and I don't think they would have baits that look like gophers unless somebody used them at one point. Have any of you heard of this before?

    • 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
    • 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.
