Caught this fish 1 day before bass opener. Fish was 23.5 inches long and had a girth of 21 inches. No scale with me but by my estimate and measurements probably would have been slightly over 10 pounds.

Anyone else ever thought about keeping a fish alive in their apartment bathtub? Anyway caught, photoed, and released. What a fish though!!

Stellar, is it just me or am I seeing something. That has to be photoshopped. The size of your hand holding the fish gives it away. I would say before adjustments, it may have been a 4 lb'er or so, but it is shopped. A buddy of mine did that for me once and it turned out really good. Sorry to call the bluff, or tell me if I am wrong.

Way wrong there Polarsusd81, here is the only other pic that i have of it. It was taken on my camera phone but it is still a real picture, no joking here. Just look at the way my right hand has to hold the belly of that beast. Believe it or not!!

what a monster. Awesome fish. I wouldn't have believe that could be produced in minnesota. I'm from rochester and can't imagine we would produce a fish that size.

Probally not photo shopped, but he is deffinatly long arming that bass, anyone who has been on this sight since last fall will remeber the "Near Record Walleye" post, It was a guy claiming he had caught a 16 lb plus walleye, looked huge in the picture, but so did his fingers.......

Forgot to say-- Dang nice fish no matter what the picture looks like.

I am not trying to deny that it is a hog, but I am thinking not 10 lbs. The other pic helps out quite a bit, but it doesn't seem that big. I have a couple pics I will have to scan of some 8's that I have caught, and no, they didn't come from Minnesota. It is deffinately a big fish though and I do congadulate you on the catch.

Why does everyone seem to like holding the fish as close to the camera as possible? If you want a close up have the guy taking the pic move closer or zoom in, if you hold the fish so far away from your body dont expect people to believe it is huge unless it totally eclipses you in the pic.Definitly a nice fish but I would also have to say I cant see 10 pounds. if you get a huge fish either hold it right against your body or next to a measurable item like a tackle box or your fishing rod that way there is something for comparison. still looks bigger than the ones I catch!

polarsusd81 and Walleyeguy31 I think your skills of judging fish size are far from adequate. I caught a 9 3/4 bass in florida that looked smaller than that. the last picture really does it justice. There will always be naysers about fish pics. I really don't think that we need them on this site. We all come here for the friendly sharing of fishing information etc. not for hostility.

I couldn't agree more. I post pics from time to time and you get the guy who doesn't even know what photoshop is say you photoshopped it. Especially when there is no motivation for spending the time to do it. This is actually a very good picture from a camera phone.....and a nice fish. Unless you got concrete proof it is a fake (are either of you PS experts or even have any photography background)say something nice or just pass on saying anything.....and if you are going to PS it, at least make it a 14 pounder grin.gif

    • 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.
