short version is she jumped about 8 times in the shallow water and we had a little audience on shore and people on their docks watching the whole thing. they started cheering once she hit the net and the dogs got too excited and bailed. the yellow one is pretty calm but followed the chocolate right off the back. pups seem to be good luck but also a pain in the butt sometimes. fish was priority one though through the whole fiasco and was only out of the water twice for about 10 seconds each time so that was the important thing.

was by myself but hunterjoe and RuKiddingMe came over for logistical support.

Great story! Figured there must be something good to go with that fish! I really don't bring my dog anymore because she jumped in a few times, by shore its ok but when your in the middle of the lake getting a 70 lb lab in with no collar on is tough!!!!

I once had a German Shepard (a big one, probably 90 lbs) follow my top water from shore to the boat. That dog tried for probably 3 minutes to climb into the boat before he gave up and swam back to his yard. No way I was about to pull him on board where he'd probably have stuck himself with about 10 baits.

Great fish and a cool pic, better capture of the moment than any replica IMO! Nicely done.....who says they don't eat with blue bird skies!?!?

What's the best time to fish.....any time you can.

Any guess on the size???? I will post it in a couple of days.

No release shot - My dad's camera's memory card was full after 2 pics and mine was at home next to the computer eek

Congrats on the nice fish guy's- Fall is coming I think.

At first glance it looks like a big old brown Sconny strain fish, with pec fins the size of a canoe paddle. Wow....unless you have hands the size of an 8 year old kid, that's a big fish!

Any time the elbow lock hold is needed that equals BIG in my book. Who cares what the "tale of the tape" is, I'm jealous for sure. Congrats on a beautiful and clean looking fish!

Just for fun, I'l throw a guess out of 53x25.......

    • 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.
