Nice fish Cecil! Wish I was up there fishing (bass that is). I went out this morning for some bass and all I caught was this lousy musky grin She went 45" and was very fat... Caught her on a DT series rapala and a MH st. croix... Took 10 minutes to bring her in... Pic ain't so good since I was by myself...

I went out to Weaver lake in the metro a month ago and had a couple of those, but I was not able to get my bait back smile. Always makes you wonder for the first few cranks on the bass reel (state record bass or musky?), then there's no question. That one does look fat!

I know this pic didn't turn out that well but just wanted to show you can still catch fish on Mille Lacs since everyone says they're not going now.

She sure looks bigger than she was. Friend's holding her against his body (wet rainsuit) so no disguising the size. 49.5 and fat.

Heres one I caught Friday night on a prop bait prototype that I have been working on.

It hit just as I was trying to hack up a bug that flew into my mouth, I've been fishing with my mouth open ever since!

This next one was caught by my diehard fishing buddy Cory who who definately deserved it, he has had some opportunities on some big fish but has never been able to get the stink on, well he did this morning with this 46.5".

Then theres this guy Ryan who we met yesterday on the water he hooked into this 47.5 while bass fishing (of course), we borrowed our net to him and he landed his first ski

So this morning Cory and I were fishing "his"(Ryans) spot hoping to hookup with another but we saw only one smaller fish, so we moved down the shore a little, I looked over my shoulder and again there was Ryan,fishing "his" spot, with his rod doubled over with this 49.5". Awesome fish Ryan. (SShhh on the location though)

RuKiddingme- Thanks, we tried a new angle on the picture and am very pleased with the results. Also wanted a new angle on the picture to see how well i am supporting the fish while holding it.

RincRat-Like i said on the pike forum I dont measure my fish, I would reather limit the handling and just get a quick pic. 40? maybe 40.5? Not sure though.

For you experts on the holds of big fish, I have a question. I am about the experience of catching/seeing big fish and always want to see them swim away...How is my hold on this particular fish? Note: My fingers are not in the fishes gills so no damage done there...

Nice hold! My goal is if it's a pic worthy fish....20 seconds out of the water....tops. I just do a ballpark measure on a floating measuring stick in the water, personally I don't really get into +/- a half inch or so, unless it's a monster, which is generally not the case....

I love the angle...very cool! Congrats!

    • 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.
