Um, for the most part just that fin, a few nicks and what not but nothing else that was to terrible.

You can kind of see in the eye that there is some white stuff in it, anybody no what that is from. It was actually a good amount of it.

Great picture with the Northern on the tail hook. Would that be considered a teaser bait? This is hopefully the year I can beat my personal best. My Dad has caught 4 fish over 50 inches, so I just need to get on the board to stop the [PoorWordUsage] I am getting. I love seeing the pictures of everyone's fish. Keep them coming.

DeBo101 - you're the second person I know of to have that happen to. The other is me. Exact same scenario, except a Reef Hawg not a Hellhound. Still one of the strangest things I've ever had happen. And one of the coolest. You'll never forget it.

Cool pics guys - nice to see some guys getting out after 'em. I won't fish them for the first time until this weekend. Graduations really put a damper on opener...heh.

Cheers,

Rob Kimm

My guess is scar tissue from probably being hooked in and around the eye in the past.

Should probably sticky this thread instead of the 2008 photos to 2009?

Really Cool pike/musky photo DeBo101.

I let a monkey grow into a gorilla. Almost 5 yrs and finally that gorilla is off my back. Can't tell you how many times I thought that the first one was in the net only to have something go wrong. Here it is a 47.5 incher. I am at peace now.

JRedig, that wasn't me. Haven't ever fished Owasso. Closest I probably came was Minnetonka or Waconia (provided I'm thinking of the right lake you are talking about). Hopefully one of these two lakes will treat me good this year as these are the closest to me.

Whisker Warrior,

Its Quite Obvious you are trying to advertise for this guy.

I don't think so. He had a good experience with him as a guide, why wouldn't he say a couple good things? Having a good guide and watching them work there magic is wonderful and can be hard to come by....I always like hearing recommendations and reports from people's guiding trips. Nice fish Whisker Warrior. Thanks for the report.

Thanks JimBuck thats exactly what it was...Never fished for them as i'm a cat fishing guy but thought I'd give it a shot and WOW loved the sport and the fish. I will definitely be honing my skills through his tutelage since there is no muskie lakes within 50 miles of me.

    • 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.
