My personal favorite reason that cattin is better than bass fishin is I know that a bass anit eaten no 50 lb flathead unlike......

another one would be that cafish have really cool names

Flatheads

Channel

Blue

then on the other side

largemouth bass

smallmouth bass

rockbass

whitebass

stripebass

all the names of the bass end in the same three letters and you cant post that on this site laughlaughgrin

As a eye and crappie man I didn't know who Mike Iaconelli was so I had to do a search. This you tub vid made me a fan, it's a must see. I don't know if I could stand sitting in a boat with him all day, but I wish I got that excited to go to work everyday.

I tell you what... I like Iaconelli. Yes I said it.

His show "City Limits Fishing" on Versus is pretty cool. Fishing rivers in the heart of major Cities, oftentimes during very bad frontal/seasonal/tidal conditions... what is there not to like about this?

I wish he came up and did a show on P1 or P2, hook him up with Fisher Dave maybe, could you imagine the smallies that would end up in that boat! Well, could you imagine Ike & FD sharing a boat together? That would be something to see! grin

The problem is if he fished bass on P2 he'd have his limit before he ever put the boat in the water...

another reason cattin is better than Bassin

when a bass guy say his fish is green he's talking color

when a cat guy says his fish is green he's got 15-20 min of fight left before it gets in the boat.

elwood you've seen the guys that bass fish there just wee little fellows that would be able to handle a truely green flat or big channel. Oh who am I kidding any channel.

My boat won't do 65 mph......but I dare anyone with a lower unit to follow me through the river.

Going 65 across an open lake in the daytime is a little different than running 45 at night through a stump infested river.

Dietz....I used to be a bassfisherman.

Then I came to my senses. I can drive 15 minutes and fish with no wait at the ramp and no other boats on the river and catch 30 pound plus fish....

Or go fish Tonka or Prior and spend an hour at the ramp to launch to go out and fight jet-ski's and hundreds of other boats to catch little fish.

I think I'll shut up now so we don't convert any more bassmen.

I still like to throw the light rods around a lake once in a while......but only when out of the metro.

I like the bass/cat invitational idea. We'll call it.....

The 24 hours of Le-fish.

A true test of endurance.

    • 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.
