Well got out to the lake today and when that slabtastic fish came up the hole i realized i forgot the ruler. cry The fish were on fire today and my hands were so wet all the time from touching fish they were cold in 35 degrees! I still snapped a few pics and hopefully i'll remember the ruler sunday. Good luck fishing this weekend.

I'm glad to hear a few people got out. I missed out on some bigger fish, found a tough bite, and never even got to tangle with any sunfish.

Did pop a few of these:

12" crappie on one of those frabill 12" plastic crappie measuring boards.

I gotta say, trying to mess around in the dark of night with a fish and a tape measure and a camera is a challenge. Things are a little tough but all you FMers just have to do the best that you can. If you can't pinch the tail and the mouth, it's okay. I had trouble getting it to work simultaneously. We're not in it for the payouts, so I think we can go with the honesty policy.

We'll try to take entries for a week (until we release the next secret word) for this particular weekend. If you missed out on this weekend there will be a new word for, knock on wood, at least the next 3 weeks, maybe more.

Great job to allfor getting out and giving it a try! Love the enthusiasm to try something new!

well I missed the secret word and then forgot the camera but I did catch a ice season best that measured 13 1/4" so I was happy with that!!! Nice fish guys and if 14.5 is nothing huge then I need to either set my standards higher or fish around Henning!!

well I guess I said it isn't huge because I have gotten two this year that were bigger and I know there are bigger ones in the lake that I fish...I can't wait till ice out to get them monster shallow water slabs!

In honor of the NCAA tournament, we're going with a phrase: March Madness Bulls!

Best of luck to all. Last week's deadline for submissions has past so I'm declaring OTBasser the winner in both categories, thanks to Matthothand for submitting some beautiful crappie entries...We need some sunfish to be entered this weekend!!!!

Wish I could be on the water but I've got out of state plans. OTBasser I'll get those jigs in the mail real soon. Just to clarify, I offered up the jigs since I forgot to post a word the first weekend...since it's coming out of my tackle box I want to keep my jigs so you're playing for pride this weekend! Good luck-get your kicks in on the hardwater before things open up.

    • 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.
