Heard from a reliable source that the new state record largemouth was caught today - weighing 8 lbs 15 oz. Was certified by DNR.

Certainly did not come from Lake Marion where I was fishing....

Wow.. that small lake (mentioned on the news) is going to be hit hard isn't it? I would guess with the warming climate, records will be caught more often than ever before.. considering the size bass get to in state south of us.

Warming climate? Hmmmm. Another global warming theory - massive infant eating bass. Sorry, I couldn't resist poking fun at the global warming stuff.

My guess is an 8-15 has been swimming somewhere in the state for some time in several different lakes. Even in a small lake, think how many places that fish could live. It didn't get that big being hooked every other week.

And, yes. Lake Auburn is going to be hammered. An 8-15 makes you take notice of the lake, but the guy mentioned they caught some 6 to 7 pound fish the day before. Some as in several, huh? I guess they asked for it.

I know my eyesight is perfect but isn't that a photo of a smallmouth bass on the cover of the Star-Tribune?

You know I thought the same thing. I had only read the article before I made my prior post, but later over lunch saw the front page and got a good laugh at that one. I'm pretty sure its a smallmouth as well.

I was VERY dissapointed that Kare-11 news didn't make any mention of it either yesterday (the actual day) or today (the day after)... to me this should be the lead story... happens so rarely..

[by the way.. I mentioned "warming climate" (a well known fact) and not "global warming" (a term associated with the 'possible' human impact on the warming climate)... so no debate or comments needed in this case! smile.gif ]

I've heard that bass actually weight more in late fall when they are packin on the lbs then they do in the spring???? I would assume thats true since this record and the last were both caught in Oct. That thing looks like it just ate a bowling ball!

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.

      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.
