Nice quillback. I have yet to get one of those guys. And is that a bigmouth buff?

It is a Bigmouth.

Also it is a Carpsucker but imposiible to tell if it is a Quillback Or River Carpsucker.

The Carpsuckers have incredible eye sight and even from a bridge 20 feet up the spook when they see you!

The rod is a Medium/Light St. Croix which was hand made. I know the guy who made it and I bought it at a charity silent auction. The handle is cocobolo wood from Central America. It looks good, feels good, and catches fish good! grin Roughfish deserve nice rods too!

If your talking about my second picture... its because we found it laying in the woods next to the creek. Apparently someone shot it with the bow and left it there. I knew it wasn't a carp and we couldn't decide what it was.

Edit- Just looked back at the first picture and noticed the fish does appear to have blood on it. I don't recall ever seeing that, but it was during so spawn so possibly it got roughed up??

today we took a road trip to brekenridge to fish the red river for channel cats. but the current was way to strong with all the rain, and even our 5oz weights were rolling. i caught the only thing, which was a little boys sandle. he was fishing on a peir with his family and he lost it. i followed it downstream, and lucily it got caught in a bunch of wood on the bridge girder. i dangled off the bridge for 30 minutes until i finally snagged it and brought it up. the boy was very happy for sure. lol. he even gave me a little hug on my leg when we left

we went to fish fergus. i was sight fishing for smallies. i was tossing my jig to smallies when i seen a "carp" feeding. i pitched a jig out to it, and FISH ON!

turned out it wasnt a carp at all! it was quite a fight on the UL. i jumped down from the bridge so i could fight it a little better. new PB silver redhorse baby!

afterward i was tossing a jig in the current and pulling it away from tiny smallmouths, when a little big mouth buff flew up! it eyed my jig then swam off! DANG! almost a new life lister =[

eventually i gave up sight fishing, and started bottom fishing

after that one, i got a HUGE hit, the fish yanked my rod from its hold in the rocks, even though the bait feeder was engaged!

i set, the hook. and the rod bent double, i have never had a fish bend that rod so far. then after about 10 seconds. it broke the 12lb leader i had on like nothing! i wish i had seen it!

i kept on fishing and got what i beleive is a large shorthead. but it doesnt have the red fins. but it has the dorsal fin of a shorthead

    • 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.
