Caught on May 02, 2010. She was weighed by a digital scale and registered at 7lbs and 12oz. She was pictured and released back to the Mississippi pool 4 - Minnesota (Back waters). Caught on a 1/4oz black and blue jig and powered by 6'6" GLX and Diawa Steez 103SHA. BEAUTIFUL FISH! Its such a great feeling to release her back into the water because big fish like her are rare.

I agree, I've been fishing my butt off the last several years trying to break 7lbs. I've come close twice. Maybe this year.

Very nice fish!

If you had a working digital scale it may very well be a 7 depending if you caught it after spawning or before. Good luck. Now my next dream is to catch an 8lber.... grin

Wow, hogzilla!!! thanks for sharing.. I have only broke the 7 lb barrier 1 time.. passed 6lbs close to a dozen now.. but that 7 is rare and one to treasure..

I would think with the picts you have, you could get a replica pretty easy, they can tell by the pict near to what the girth was.

Congrats again!!!

Here's a couple side catches, the big-uns seem to like the big soft plastics I've been tearing up the pike with, all over 18''!

And my girl with her first "real fish" (aka not a stunted bluegill or perch). She got it on a crankbait she picked out herself from Cabelas and was quite proud! We traded rods and I caught a pretty nice ~30'' pike on her lure later that day so she was even double-y happy that 'her' lure caught fish.

Totally unprepared so he didn't get length or weight... It was a monster though still full of eggs. My buddy caught her on Walleye opener so I took a picture and we sent her on her way! With any luck, she'll be waiting for us, with friends, this weekend!

that 7 pounder a few pages back is unreal. I caught one right around 6 last year and that fish blew my mind. really nice fish though, congrats on that.

this fish murdered a lipless crank. 21"+ and heavy.

Reeeeally good year class of fish in the Mississippi this year. '07 or '08 was ridiculous and I think this year could be another one of those bigggg fish years.

    • 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.
