This is my least favorite color... Luckily I rarely if ever see it myself... Often this coloration is the result of slow hook sets... resulting in a deeper hook set that harms the fishes internal organs... and more often than not resulting in death

I do not fish for sport alone. I fish to eat trout some of the time. I will not injure any living creature for sport alone. I consider it unethical. To each their own.

Yes you are correct...this one was bleeding and went home with me. I am NOT a strict catch and release angler. It tasted great on my grill that night.

I am sure it tasted great. Trout taste excellent. I eat trout sometimes too! Mostly out of driftless streams since the NW Wisco Freestones aren't doing as well as they could be for various reasons.

I prefer to see pics of trouts that aren't that particular color pattern though.

we all do but it is part of getting the fish to bite. The sharp hook could cause injury. It goes with the territory.

Which is why I either don't take pics of bloody fish, or I make sure that I don't post them online...

in a series highlighting the many colors of trouts...

showing their beauty...

not necessarily a great idea to show off the SW WI "Cutty."

i disagree.

why stick your head in the sand and pretend that some of them caught and released don't die. Lots do and more folks should realize that.

Lactic acid build up kills lots of trout also. No blood shown there.

Fishing involves sharp objects.

Not sure a "small stream browns come in many colors" thread is one where I'd expect to find a discussion on delayed mortality. Might be a decent enough topic though, as there are ways to tell the condition of a trout that have nothing to do with if it's bleeding or not.

It's not a head in the sand thing LHarris, it's simply the fact that I like looking at trout pics without blood on the trout. Even if I know they are going to be eaten later...

We're looking for fish pictures in good taste that encourage selective harvest principles so the dead fish rule is as follows: Fish pictures must be in the natural environment where the fish is caught that do not look frozen, stiff, bloodied or look like they were just poured out of a bucket and no stringer or fish in a bucket pics. Fish Mount and live release tournament pictures are ok as well. All other dead fish pictures are not allowed.

      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.
