That is a beautiful little 'ski! I love how they look when they're little!

Jonah, I sprained my finger something fierce on that 51" from a week or so ago. My finger is still bruised, and is tender as all [PoorWordUsage]. Worth every painful moment... wink

Hey Jeff, lighten up. If a guy wants us to think his fish is bigger than it actually was, he'd just lie about the size, and how would we know? Anybody can tell those were good fish. I'm all for making the fish the centerpiece of the photo. I don't like looking at the fisherman as much as the fish, and you certainly don't want to be looking at me (I've got the perfect face for radio). I don't care how big a fish I catch, I'm never going to be able to make it look big next to me, no matter how I hold it, so there goes your perspective. All I'm saying is it was pretty obvious those were a couple of good fish, so I for one congratulate him.

I have never discounted the fact that those were some nice piggies, rest assured it is all light-hearted joking around, hence the smilies in my post above. Of course I compliment the catches as well. I have no interest in viewing the fisherman either, IMO it just looks really silly to hold the fish that way. It's what kids do to make their fish look bigger. Seems quite a few agree.

Have a great day,

And obviously a few disagree as well. Didn't know if it was all lighthearted or not with the continued shots. We're cool. You've had some success also recently - good job. Tough conditions yesterday I thought, makes it even more impressive.

Here are my brother HugoBox's skis from over the Fourth of July weekend.

First is 40-41" from FL. Had a couple good follows and one on but not landed the previous day, then finally landed this one the next. Many 28-31" pike mixed in too. Good action. DCG chartruese.

Second was on WBL at about 3 am Sat night. DCG chartruese again. This one was 48" and his PB so far.

Both good releases:

Larry -

Thanks for the congrats - I'm still smiling a bit. I guess this one just showed up a week late!! Would have been fun it we would have hit one while we were out. I've never trolled a DCG at night before this, I may have to do more of it.

Take care - erik

    • 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.
    • 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.
