I love the Navionics chip in my elite 7 hdi, the detail is excellent even our hometown lake is on it and has put walleyes in the boat. Lake Beltzville is a hard lake to fish, walleye are abundant but stubborn fish to catch you need to be a night owl. But with the Navionics chip you can follow the the drop offs and be able to present your baits right in front of them. I really like it!!!

Way to go fella's nothing like a rod firing before you get half of your spread out, like always JT congrats to you, oh yea those eyes look as healthy on the inside as the outside, they are feeding themselves well, so feed them some of your favorite riggings and they will feed you as well.!!!

It sounds like you had a great time and some quality fish and a wonderful bonus a hog walleye, congrats to you on the walleye. I love to walleye fish but any small mouth over 3# pounds I consider a quality catch, got to love the power they have, pound for pound I believe they are an awesome fish to catch. Tight lines to you and have a great 4th of July!!!

That sounds like a nice way to end the day, I would be tickled to death with a day like that. Safe 4th to all.!!

Wow that's a wall hanger, great job of hanging in there!!!

nice going guys, looks like the eyes are in trouble!!!

That's pretty cool to have a state record fish with your name on it, it doesn't matter what the species is. Congrats on your record breaking fish!!!

Chas, don't get your hopes up with them carrying local made stuff. My wife's uncle works in the cabelas at Hamburg PA. We thought the same when they came to PA. Hell they don't even have half the stuff that's in the catalog. I was disappointed twice I went down for Spro swivels as they are the only ones close to here that even know what Spro even is, I went down for Mack's smile blades natta, they have there own agenda, I thought they would carry Blood run, nope. Richard works in the gun dept. and he said they are also feeling the economic impact, and are cutting back on what they carry, at least in this one. Also Cabelas is not cheap, they just have everything, supposably. They only carry a small amount of Michigan Stinger spoons and only a hand full of flashers and spin doc. Pro Troll is the only brand they carry. I hope for your sake its different, but I can go to the mom & pop shops and get the same stuff at the same price and sometimes cheaper. Hell I bet Fat Nancy has more in her store than the whole fishing depot. At Cabelas in Hamburg. Pa. At least with what we are interested in, trolling lakeO, if your into rubber worms and bass fishing maybe it's a different story.

I typed in Mercruiser 485 and it came up as a Big 4" 485/470 lots of info about the motor, not the best motor Mercruiser ever used but a buddy of mine has one in his boat and he likes it. Easy on fuel and a great trolling motor he can get under 1mph with it. I guess it's half of a 460 ford engine with a 428cid head. It seems like either you hate them or love them, I would guess the guys that hate them have the well known over heating problems and something about a cam seal that fails and the low out put alternator they have, then there's my buddy who loves the motor. I know he gets way better fuel mileage than I do with a 350 merc. Good luck with it!!

Excellent job Kevin, I'll take that catch any day!!

I was typing as fast as could to get that in there, sorry Salmonite

I'd call up the mountain monster team, the will do a night investigation for you, I'll bet you have a hell hound running loose up there!!! LOL.

Judging by the starter it appears to be a 470, if you can't find a alternator anywhere, then it's a 470 they have an enclosed alternator. I have a starter & alt rebuild shop, and I was able to see the starter. It appears to be a 4cyl. correct?

Excellent catch Gene, your clients are happy guys, it shows in the pics. Congrats to you and you group!!.
