Hey Guys,

My 88 Penn Yan has one and it limits the throw on the Port engines throttle at the helm. More or less its not doing anything and I would like to remove it but I am curious about the re attaching of everything. Has anyone ever removed one from a boat? How hard is it to reconnect the throttle cable? What else is involved?

Thanks in advance

Awesome Video! Thanks for Sharing

Nice fish and report! That is a PIG of a fall King!!! Congrats!

Awesome - sell all of his playskool and oshkosh and get em a fighting belt and some carhart gear!!

Always good to hear, Glad you were able to bang a few kings and not have to worry about landing them.

Another shout out for that coho! Nice looking fish!!

Thanks for the report!!

Congrats on the new rig!

I love my recent upgrade to a Penny and I know Tommy is more than pleased with his, you should be with yours as well!

I apologize for missing this post.

I allready PMed Don Supon, but if anyone has doubts on these riggers let me just say they were 100% worth the wait. He IS a perfectionist as he should be taking pride in everything that comes out of his shop. They are built to last and with the fisherman in mind.

You can not compare them to a Cannon or a Scotty its all a matter of preference when purchasing downriggers. These are an elite brand of handmade in the USA downrigger with many great features.

He is a very busy man so if there is any problems with contacting him, be patient or let me know maybe I can help.

Congratulations on the Loc Fish!

Congrats Brian!

Any pictures of the chromer?

Nice work on the video again Nick! Love the underwater shot of the prop side views of the boat!!

Great report as always Rick, Nice looking Chrome!

Anything related to fishing can be justified by YOLO. (you only live once)

Wife: Why did you spend $5 on a new lure?

Fisherman: YOLO!

You got it all wrong.......It goes more like this:

Wife- Did you buy more fishing stuff?

Husband- yup. Nice new shoes.

End of story.

Nicely put Bri-

I add a comment about closet space after Nice shoes and it usually brings her around.

WOW that was unbelievable! Thanks for the great footage! The time it took to get all of that footage and put it together!!

Thanks again!

For taking a trip across the lake and 1 day prefishing compared to the guys that fish it everyday over there, you guys were in the top 5 of 60 teams!! Congrats on taking 5th place!

Ray you couldnt even get to the barb it was twisted in, we tried while on the water.

The people that have PMed me and asked I thought I owed to give you guys a thanks, my ear is doing fine. It is healing up very well and Its more of a memory now and I cant even believe it happened!

For the people that do not know the story, here is the short version.

Around 12 o'clock of the shoot out we had been in upgrade mode looking for another 20+. We had a Good fish going on a meat rig when the center rigger gets rocked with a nice Chromer giving us the airshow. The steelhead ended up taking the cheater which makes the swivel slide down to the main spoon. It came in pretty green after a few jumps and did some thrashing around at the back of the boat sling shotting that spoon in-between the rod tip and the fish around. As I turned my head as it was coming at my face it got LODGED in the back of my left ear as I swept the net under it. I quickly cut the mainline, boated the fish and I climbed back into the boat and threw him in the cooler so I could analyze how bad the situation was. One of my teammates stayed with the other fish being fought while me and another teammate checked out what it looked like. It was in really good past the barb but not through and we couldnt move it, So I clipped the O ring after trying to cut off the other hooks of the treble with no luck due to inadequate side cutters. I felt ok just shaken up a bit and I went back to fishing, netting the last fish of our day.

What a way to end a great day fishing with my friends/teammates! We would go into weigh in and finish in 11th place just out of the top 10. Great day, Great event and I cant wait till next years. Thanks again to Rob, Scott, The Keiths and the SCS team good work on another successful event!

Here are a few photos

Scooping the last fish after the incident- if you look at my left ear you can see the piercing.

Before Urgent Care worked on me

After Urgent Care worked on me for 2 hours and DIDNT GET THE HOOK OUT!

This is at Lakeside Hospital AFTER urgent care, They were great, good experience and the Dr. was able to get the hook out.

Last but not least the fish photo, Team Locked Up with our big 4

Congrats Jon and crew!

Congrats on the Steelhead Shawn-!
