I don't consider white bass a rough fish. I would call it a game fish anyone else feel that way?

I agree that a white bass is not a rough fish the white bass is in the bass family. But if we are getting technical the below "Bass" are in the sunfish family. Where ever it is posted a 18" white bass is a nice one nice fish hotpockets.

The black basses, such as the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), smallmouth bass (M. dolomieu), spotted bass (M. punctulatus), and Guadalupe bass (M. treculii), belonging to the sunfish family, Centrarchidae

Well said fishdale. If anyone hasn't fished for white bass I would reccommend it. They hit hard and give you an awesome fight for the size 18" is a very nice one my biggest is 16.5". Oh they also don't taste to bad if cooked correctly.

White bass are also great through the ice. When you see that fish coming, the first thing you think of is "Hey I have a HUGE CRAPPIE on".

I have had a blast with em!

Yes they are next time you ice fish for them they love jigging raps!

The only reason I would classify a White Bass a rough fish is because that is what the MN DNR says wink

I don't have a problem calling any fish a "game" fish because no matter the fish it's always fun for me.

No doubt... a White Bass is a "true" Bass. A largemouth is actually a sunfish. Funny when you think about it but whities are one heck of a sportfish! Nothing "rough" about them in my mind.

after that, bowfisherman showed up, and they were shooting everything in sight, so i started trying to catch all the bowfin i could, so they wouldnt get speared, i put them in a big rubbermaid container full of water, so they wouldnt get shot.

ended up with a total of 5 more bowfin, and they got 2 before i could get to them. the bowfin were released after the bowfisherman left

P.59 of the 2009 MN fishing regulations: Rough fish are defined as carp, buffalo, sucker, redhorse, sheepshead, bowfin, burbot (eelpout), cisco (tullibee), gar, mooneye, and bullhead.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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

      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

      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.
