Welcome Kurt Paulsen!


Recommended Posts

I would like to welcome Kurt Paulsen as our newest addition to the HSO/FM team!

Kurt has put a lot of time in along the banks of the Minnesota, Mississippi, and St. Croix rivers chasing "roughfish" of all species.

Kurt also has an extensive background in photography, so I would expect to see some cool shots of various roughfish as Kurt embarks on his future fishing trips smile.gif

Kurt will also be helping out with producing some of the HSO shows, and I'm sure they'll be a show dedicated to roughfish in the future as well wink.gif

So, welcome aboard Kurt! I'm looking forward to reading more your posts and reports in the future!

Thanks for all the hospitality! Matt makes me out to be a better fisherman than I actually am... I try for rough fish because they interest me (and they are sometimes easier for me to catch! wink.gif). I will try and post some pics of stuff as often as I can. If anybody has any video/photo technical questions I can probably help out too... My daytime life is spent as a college video production instructor...

That is a SWEET longnose btw! I only catch shortnose around here, but they are all cool in my opinion. Tasty too! Gut 'em, stuff 'em with garlic and onions, grill 'em whole with the skin on and you will not be disappointed!

I'm looking forward to lots of great discussions!

OK, so I bought this underwater color video camera with a long video-in cable, and a top of the line digital Mini-DV camcorder. I also bought a telescoping octagonal aluminum heavy-duty net handle with a yoke to support the camera. I bought all this to record underwater footage of spawning redhorse in the riffles of the root river. The telescoping handle with detatchable yoke extends to eight feet, allowing the camera to be poked ahead of you or just propped on the river bottom while the spawning action is filmed remotely using the Mini-DV camera. Trouble is, the underwater camera has a regular video jack, and the mini-DV camcorder has some kind of round, small, analog video-in jack and the two are not compatible. I've heard I can buy a suitible adapter at Radio Shack but I'm not sure if this is true. Any advice on adapting the two together? I've spent too much to buy a new camera or camcorder. Also, any video advice for filming in shallow riffles in bright sun?

Also, kudos on the shortnose. I have not yet mastered that species and if you can point me in the direction of the shortnose I could point you in the direction of the longnose, or most other species. Also, I have never eaten a gar and am much impressed by your culinary appreciation of those fish. Now that I have heard how you do it, I will have to try eating a longnose this summer.

Thanks for the questions! I love to answer 'em! First off. The cord you probably need is a tri-cord. It will be your video and audio L&R. So it would have a yellow, white and red regular RCA style plugs on one end and a mini-plug on the other. The mini plug looks like a normal headphone plug, but with an extra black line on it. I am surprised your camera didn't come with this cord. If it didn't you should be able to buy one at Radio shack. What is the brand and model of the camera? I can look more specifically into if you want.

As for taping under water, remember to always keep the sun at your back as much as possible. This will allow the most light to be bounced off the fish and back the camera instead of silhouettes against the light.

If you try gar, try a small one to start with. Grill it well. I also usually squirt some soy sauce in the belly cavity to add some saltiness. These taste very good if you are not expecting flaky walleye. The texture is more like pork loin than fish!

    • 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.
