Animals stealing my fish!

Another time at the cabin we had some walleye in a cooler in the boat. Coons got in there and left the fish, but took our dognuts! That was almost worse. That was breakfast.

Were they Krispy Kreme's ? (Couldn't resist) laugh

I lived on a lake growing up near St Joseph. Our dog would venture off at times when we were not paying attention. She came home with a box of doghnuts one morning, and a dollar bill another time!! I'm guessing there were some not so happy fisherman out on the lake.

Another boundry waters story we had a snapper eat two walleye on a stringer. One opener we had about ten really nice crappies in one of those wire fish baskets hanging on the dock. Left them overnight and in the morning there was a big hole in it. The only thing left was one crappie and all that was eaten of it was the head. The last time it happened to me was when I was on a trip in Mexico. I was fishing on a pier and was in the process of reeling up a small jack when a pelican snatched it on the way up. I ended up hooking the pelican and reeling that in to get the hook out if its beak. This was not the first time this bird went to steal someones fish because I pulled not just my hook form its beak but an old rusty jig as well.

That was probably our Lab stealing your fish. Last Sunday he came back to the portable with a 12 inch crappie with the guy who caught it not far behind. The guy most have went bang when he caught it. The old boy is missing bird season.

I might have told this story here before, but a few years back my buddy and I were at his old mans cabin. My buddy has a lab that will eat just about anything that isn't nailed down. We had just got back from fishing and had big Northern on the stringer that we were intending to have for dinner. We were having a beer on the deck getting ready to go clean fish, when it occured to me that his chow hound was no where to be seen. I don't know why it occurred to me that she might be eating our fish, but when I went down to the dock I made it there just in time to see her finishing off the tail of the Northern. I couldn't believe that a 50# dog could eat a that big a fish that quickly, but there wasn't a piece around.

My buddy was worried that she would puke in the cabin later or worse yet that the bones would get caught in her intestines, so we fed her a few tablespoons of 2% hydrogen peroxide to get her to throw up. After a few minutes she urped up some fish and we thought that was the end of it and started burying it. That's about the time the mother load came up. Eye's, face, intestines, fins and all. I gut deer and bear every year, but neither buddy nor I could bury what was left of that fish without gagging a little.

Went to a buddies home once and his ornery old Black Lap was playing with a weird looking Stick. Had it in his mouth and was shaking it back a forth, dropping it on the ground, kicking it, flipping it up in the air. He was just having a good old time with his "stick".

Looked a little closer and saw that the stick was actually a frozen Nortern that my buddy had caught the evening before and was going to clean the next day as he had something else to attend to that night. Dog got to the bucket during the night I guess.

    • 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.
