Made it out for our annual Summer Smallie trip. Another fun and great trip fished all day Saturday and all day Sunday. Numbers way up size was down a little for average but still managed 11 or 12 over 20″. A ton of fish in the 19 inch range was a blast and not too many people around which was nice. Had one spot we hit put 18 fish in the boat in 10 minutes it was insane. Couldn’t get the fish in the boat fast enough to get another cast in.Many triples caught this weekend, did get some go pro footage hope to have that soon.

Some 4th of July week pics. Got back home for the holiday. Man, was it good to get out of the Texas heat & get back into some Minnesota weather and fishing! Only was able to fish a total of about 6 hours, but we put around 100 bass in the boat. Average size was small with lots of 10-15" fish, but we still got a decent number of 18-20.5" fish. Fish were caught on a wacky senko in the pads early and moved to weed edges with Carolina creatures & senkos and sunfish-colored DT3s over suspended cabbage after the sun came up

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with some Leech Lake bass this weekend.  All fish caught were very thick and over 15". First time trying to fish the rice... yielded only 1 fish. Had to go back to what I know to put fish in the boat.

Some from the last couple weeks. A Beaver dam bass that went 5-2lb from up at the cabin in the Akeley/Walker area. A 19in pale green water bass from last night around here.  Also a bonus 34-35in dirty water pike from Monday. My board quits at 31in! I forgot my dang scale up north, so can only measure them right now! da.

Thanks guys!

I just have to ask, how many people on this forum have caught a 24 inch smallie?

I'm looking at the third smallie this summer reported to be 24 inches.

Phenomenal... ;):D

The State record largie measured 23 inches.  Just sayin'.

I'm really wondering if the State record smallie might pop on Mille Lacs this weekend.

No 24" smallies for me!:cry:

When I worked at Voyageur North in Ely, I heard and seen pics of so called 24's never on a tape or board. I suppose possible though.

The biggest smallies I have actually measured are 23" 6lbs 12oz, 21.5" 6lbs 8oz, 21" 5lb 4oz.

I would have loved to have seen yours up close, awsome fish!

There are 6lb fish out your back door Wanderer! Hope you get many.

    • 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.
