They aren't quite done spawning here, judging by the stuff they were spilling when they came ashore, but they are biting easier again. I caught a bunch this morning between 8 and 10 pounds. Non-stop action from 9 until noon. They all hit like freight trains and fought like mad.

This one had a deformed nose and tail.

A buddy of mine caught this guy on the river in LaCrosse. Snagged it while casting cranks for pike. I'm told this is a smallmouth buffalo? Is this correct?

Anyways, the fish was 31"x23" and calculators put it between 16-18lbs. Pretty darn huge fish if that's the right species, especially since the state record is 20lbs.

Hopefully, someone with a bit more expertise will chime in. Stillwateraaron, where are you??? smile

I am here.

I am 100% sure Bigmouth!

The Body shape says it all. I remember when I first started going after the "odd" fish. I really had to work at ID. Now with the help of a good friend I can ID them at a glance many times and even in the water. All ID takes time to learn I still carry a cheap sheet on redhorse just in case I get one that looks odd to me. I am always willing to give my input on ID so always feel free to ask.

Put in a lot of time!

I have caught one and hooked up 4 or 5 times since on different tactics. The spring is the easiest time to catch them. They seem to filter feed once summer rolls around and nearly anything you throw seems to scare them.

In the spring they are caught on flies and jigs mostly.

As of lately I have had ratso pink and white taken and bread balls under a micro float. As a good friend of mine put it We are lifetime students of fishing!

how would you go about catching bigmouths?

the old fly rod hasn't produced much lately

Still having luck catching buffalos on san juan worms and even megaworms (a giant sized SJW). I typically do well fishing soft hackled wet flies in the summer, swinging them in the current where I find them holding. Caddis pupa nymphs and even a clam pattern will continue to catch fish through the fall.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
