It was an a awesome event Aaron. That caravan of ATV's and snowmobiles was out a good 200 yards on the ice and went all the weigh past the weigh-in trailer and to the top of the park entrance, incredible.

Nice pics...I am sure they are still fresh in your memories guys.

That has to be a great feeling knowing you are going up against the "Best of the Best" in this wonderful Sport!

Hopefully some of us other Hard Water Freaks will get a chance to experience that some day...if not I will never get sick of your pics and Battle Stories!

Thanks doug.. The only battle scars thus far was Kyle getting up close and personal with his strikemaster hand auger, right Kyle ;\)\:D

Doug - Todd doesn't have Monday off unfortunately \:\( but I know you do. You know what I'm thinking if the tape is down? ;\)

For those who are wondering about my battle scar, it goes like this....

I drilled a hole and then half drilled my auger into the ice next to me and started fihing...

I get up to move, reached over to grab my auger and ripped it to get it out of the hole, well the handel sung and i basically punched myself in the nose with the handel....

I went to my knees and saw stars!! So then i felt the warnming sensation of the blood starting to flow, and flow it did for the next 3 minutes....it was swollen for the rest of the day and around my eye turned a little yellow to blue.

So be carful when grabbing for you auger quickly!

    • 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.
