Thanks for the information insurance guy. Please don't think I was questioning your practices of catch and release. It's merely nice to hear how other states handle their regulations. I consider it good conversation. And, I already said nice lookin' fish, so we should be covered.

Your welcome. Everybody can probably think of some ways their fish and game departments could handle regulations differently but it's certainly good to see what other states are doing in regards to the same species for perspective sake if nothing else.

Isnt it amazing how many people still think those chubbys are a joke?


Shhhhhhhh! Just let people keep thinking that wink.gif They're the same guys who think Nilsmaster augers aren't any better than a Jiffy or that having a flasher doesn't make a difference in the numbers of fish you catch crazy.gif I have also had great success catching walleyes on chubby's out here in NY since they first came out and I have to laugh when I hear someone say they don't work and they're too expensive grin.gif Nice walleyes you guys!!!! We finally have some safe ice on our walleye lakes and this weekend will be our first crack at some walleyes on the hardwater in 2007 and you better believe I'll have a chubby darter on to start the show!!!

Man I hope you guys are right about those Chubby Darters. I am heading back to Mille Lacs this weekend for those piggies and all the good stuff I hear about them I had to pick some up today. I was definetly one of those guys that looked at them and said there's no way those work that good, especially for how much they cost. If it helps me get the big ones it'll all be worth it.

Lake of the woods has been HOT to say the least. The last day of 2006 I landed a 29 1/2 incher. The next day we made the trip to Garden Island (my first). UNBELIEVABLE. I cannot believe the quality and quanity. Believe it or not this is how it went between 4 of us. 30", 28 1/2", 28", 2-26" and at least 10 over 22". Plus a very nice limit of slot walleyes. Came up short on saugers but who cares. YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS TRIP SOMETIME IN YOUR LIFE. I have GPS coordinates so shoot me an email.

My buddy and I tied into some real nice fish while renting a sleeper house from River Bend on Lake of the Woods.

A very solid 25.5" walleye by my buddy.

A stocky 28" walleye I got Friday night. wink.gif

And tying my personal best on length, but definitely the heaviest fish I've ever caught, a 29.5" brute I caught Friday morning. cool.gif

All these fish were CPR'd.

    • 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
    • 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.
