That's great that your wife let you go out fishing when she was about to pop!

Congrats Aaron.

When my wife was pregnant with our girls she'd come back from a check up and say the baby was 18" and 5 lbs or something and I would always come back with "That's a nice size bass." One track mind I guess.

Lol yeah, its one of my favorite cranksbaits!!

The little guy must of been pretty hungry, or really agressive, since the crank doesnt even fit in his mouth lol. I think this is my smallest bass ever. Its was only like 6 inches lol. I usually have better luck on the other side of the point.

Got these to today, first one 19.5" second one just at the 20" line on the board but was by far the fattest 20" fish I have seen in a long time, both fish hit a white spinnerbait big fish had the whole bait down just short of the gullet, released with no harm, good deer opener

Yep all were off of whats left of the weeds, small one was off of an isolated clump on an inside turn, second one was off a good hard edge on an inside turn, was really surprised we didn't pick more out of that spot, but my boat drifted over it when I took the pic so I might have spooked em

To sight fish when ice fishing you just drill your hole like normal and look directly down and watch the fish react to your presentations. You need relatively clear water, it's a lot like spearing because it allows you see the fish and you can keep decide whether or not you want them to eat the bait so you can enjoy seeing the fish without even harming it by taking it out of the water.

this could be a stupid question...but how do you sight fish when you're ice fishing? shovel off a nice shallow clear spot and just hurry and drill a hole when you see a fish?

Well in my limited ice fishing experience the water is generally 2-3 times clearer on a lake than in summer times. So if you are fishing say a seven foot weed edge you can usually see fish near your jig 5 feet down or so on brighter days. The fish seem to be oblivious to your presence so you can watch them and see what kind of motion they like.

    • 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.
