Well... I got an email about the walleye being from Mille Lacs, but the actual truth is that a Priest caught the walleye on Tobin Lake in northern Saskatchewan, it's a new Saskatchewan province record.

Come to think about it, a person can hardly believe anything you read in an email anymore!! HA!!

I hope this link works, but here's where it's at:

Since it's been caught on Tobin Lake, I have personally heard stories linking it to Lake of the Woods, Mille Lacs, Waubay area, Devils Lake, and the Red River. Simply amazing how something black and white can turn into a long winding talk story.

Last night, a buddy called and told me it was caught on Reetz. 10 mins later another guy stops by my shack and told me it was caught on Waubay. Today, I swung by the Gas station/bait shop and the owner told me he heard it also.

I have heard so many stories, I thought maybe someone on this board would know. As of right now, I am calling it spam. If it were true, it would be all over the news.

I just got off the phone with the GF&P Wildlife Division in Webster. They have heard nothing of this. If there was state record caught it would of had to been verified by a state biologist.

As for the 18 pounder it was caught in Tobin, not Mille Lacs or Lake of the Woods.

I just thought I would post a little info regaurding the biggest walleye I have heard of this winter. I was talking to the local comercial fisherman who have nets out across eastern SD and was asking them if they ever see any potential records.

the biggest one they have gotten in few years was just last month. It was a 14lb, 32+" walleye that was witnessed by the conservation officer. The fish was released back into Lake Traverse unharmed! There are pictures of the beauty that I can't wait to see.

Actually, I can't wait to see me holding here this spring! grin.gif

Just a little trivea for you all!

      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.

      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.
