A buddy of mine picked these up a little while ago. For those of you that recognize the area, please, keep it to yourself!

21", estimated about 5lbs

22 1/2", estimated about 6lbs

and a hair over 23", estimated a little under 7lbs!!!

These fish were caught about 15 minutes apart from each other, along with several in the 17-19" class. The lengths aren't estimates, we used a tape on the side of the boat. As you can see the fish are extremely healthy, not thin at all so I think the estimated weights are pretty close, maybe a little high. smile I'll probably never see fish like that again in those numbers. It was a bummer that he got all the big 'uns, I woulda loved to haul in one of these beasts.

I would have had a hard time not knocking him unconscious and having the fish for myself.

And, I think I know the area, but am not sure. Though, you may have inspired me to try something Sunday morning in a similar location.

I figure, he's willing to let me fish in his boat, so I have no problem letting him take the first cast or two into an area. As long as one of us gets the fish it's ok with me. And to be honest, he's a better bass fisherman than I am. He grew up down south and that's all he does. Funny thing, though, he says the bass fishing is better quality here than down south. And he grew up fishing lakes like Pickwick.

I weighted this LM and can not remember if he was 2.2 or 2.12. Caught him today around 7:20pm. Nothing special, but I thought I would post it anyways. He was very agressive and quite a fighter for such a little guy! Maybe you guys can tell if he is 2.2 or 2.12, lol I have a horrible memory. The pic is kinda bad, since it's hard to take a picture when your by yourself!

i do have a boat, its a john boat. but we are working on remodeling it. i am looking for a more portable boat for when i go out on trips and stuff. an inflatable foldable, or a kayak would be alot better for camping and stuff.

but that is my english teachers boat. i guided him yesterday.

come down any time, i get out june 5th, and i found quite a few areas with some big bass sitting in them. i seen one bed with a nice 4lb male on it, but about 50 feet away, there was a HUGE female that would push past 6lbs easy. she looked like she was over 23"

and im always open, so whenever you want to come down here, ill put you on some bass or whatever other kind of fish you want

    • 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.
