He was able to lift the fish from the hole upon line breakage and the fish was on the ice due to that move, which qualifies as a fishing move. Thus, the fish is down by contact. The ruling on the lake is that this is a catch. You will be charged a timeout. Fish On!

This thread is cracking me up more each time I read through it. Nice!

Yeah, not what I expected when I opened it, but very good thread! smile.gif I'm kinda wondering if the fish might be juiced...?... That would account for his fast escape.

Oh no....now we've opened up another can of worms grin.gif (pun intended)....a juiced fish found on local lake confused.gif

In a related story:

Local Walleye was "Almost" cited as in "posession" grin.gif (and he told the conservation officer "Dont you know who i am?")

I think that the catch should count. He clearly had the fish and it was on the ice. Since you let it go back down your hole it should count. Had it gone back down his hole then it would not have counted.

Absolutely it was Tony's fault! How do you let a 24 inch walleye go through your hole? It certainly wasn't because we were catching fist fulls of fish! Couting the one that got away, I think we had a total of 3!

I would love to have intstant reply on this, as then I would have record of my biggest fish through the ice...instead, I get to read about my "fumble" on FM...Tony, what a friend!

Seriously though, as Tony and I talked about it, a fish like that made the treck through the snow, 1/2 mile out, all worth while!

What can I say? I "live to give." What kind of friend would I be if I didn't give you some grief for singlehandedly flipping a fish from one hole to another?

And based on feedback from other users, I'm still unclear as to if we should credit you with the catch.

This is clearly a question that can be answered by who's fishhouse you were in. That's a play you'd only get called as a catch on your home ice, even if you had it in possession & released it intentionally. Ice fishing is a sport known for it's "home cooking"...

Sorry guy's if there ain't a picture it's just a story.

Still a good story it's not often a 32" Walleye is caught and released that quickly.

Ok, now it has officially become a fish story. It went from a 24 - 26" fish in the original post to a 32 incher in four pages. grin.gif

Hey ameyers41 (Tony), remember that time we were out fishing on Medicine and I got that 46 inch muskie through the ice on an ultra light rod with a crappie minnow! And remember how I asked you to hold it while I got my camera and before I could take the picture you dropped it because it was so heavy, and it flopped right down your hole! And then to top it off I dropped my camera trying to grab the muskie and of course, the camera falls down the hole. Worse yet, we had a twenty dollar bet on biggest fish and you said that since there was no picture, there was no fish! Unbelievable that your 4 inch perch was the only other thing we caught that night and I was out 20 bucks.

It's definetly not a catch! You have to have total control of the fish. If it bobbles around, falls out of your hands and goes down the hole, it's a fumble...no touchdown for you! I've been trying to teach Ryan M a thing or two about fishing, but it has been a slow process. Definetly a work in progress. ooo.gif

Did any of you guys ask the fish??? sure ...all of you jumping to conclusions without asking ALL parties involved!!

grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

I like that one.

Ok, does it count if it's too big to get up through the hole. My brother hooked a monster sturgeon on Lake Superior last spring and the closest we came to getting it was with the belly up and the sucker at the bottom of the hole.

Man, john the refs been under the hood for some time, oh wait hear he finally comes.

"The ruling on the field was a fumble, and no catch. After reviewing the play, the ruling on the field has been reversed. Yes the fish was a fumbled, but after review, it was determind that fisherman "B" proceeded to use the blade of his boot to steer the said fish of fisherman "A's" into the hole. There for the goal is disallowed, and it is ruled a catch! Further more, it was also determinded that the scoop in question was only used as a decoy, and never really went down said hole. So fisherman "A" is not required to replace fisherman "B's" said scoop!!" wink.gif

I had to go out and buy a new scoop, so Ryan M now must buy the bait for the next 2 times out to be even. You hear that Ryan???

And, if I didn't see it, I wouldn't have believed it on Medicine, but I've had decent luck 2 out of the last 3 times out.

I vote no, not a catch.

If I net a fish, and raise it to the boat and it flops out of the net...not a catch.

If you try to pick a fish out of the water...touch it...and it zooms away for it came unhooked...not a catch.

He was on the ice, but not under control. Not a catch.

My cousin and my rule when ice fishing is if it comes out of the hole, and on to the ice, it counts as a catch. however, if it is a bet, it must be measured. If in a boat, it must in the boat and in total posession. Since it went down your hole, and not the hole in question, i would say it would be a catch. Although i like the "fishing move".

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
