Thanks for sharing Len! Brings back memories. Have you tried the conventional gear? The way the boats I worked on were set up it was easier to do conventional than snap on, but it looks like you have it figured!

My boat can't handle a lot of weight. I am forced to take my gear to the front of the cabin when not in use to balance things out. 2500 lbs of fish is a big load for my boat. Pushed 3000 but not fun. I fish very limp soft gear so so I can get a lot of line in a brute tub. A lot of the time were baiting as I set the hooks out as well. I put together the whole song and dance to be done by myself if needed. Any guesses on the throttle assembly?

Conventional gear was always setting for speed, like back in the derby days when you had everyone and their brother out there to compete with and you only had a limited amount of time. Object was to get as much out and cover as much ground as you could, then haul it all back and worry about fixing gear later. Very nice set up for what you are doing Len. I kind of wish some of my friends had some of that for when they set subsistance gear. Hauling by hand sucks.

lb thank you for that video of Alex Van Bibber. I knew Alex from many years back, in the early 80's when I used to travel to Yukon and attend their conventions. Great old gentleman. smile

Thought this video was a little different twist on a marten set.

No problem, My elders taught me how to trap, so its a real treat to hear them speak on the subject of trapping

Very cool video of an otter trapped on film.. Skip to 7:30. Really shows the power of a 220! Put him out quick

Nice video! Is that the same Alex Van Bibber who helped search for the "Mad trapper at Rat river?"

Family Trapper, how did that guy's fastening system work? Looked slick and easy!

I was interested also.
He is using a large snap swivel of some sort. Looks pretty cool for a quick attachment.
This is as close as I could get to a photo of it. They sell them in Homer at the Gear Shed for sport halibut fishing.

lb I have to differ with you. That otter was never snuffed out on that video. Don't think it was a belisle conibear. He was still going when the camera went off. I would have been surprised if it had. To much space there for them to still breathe.

I saw that, but the other end seemed like a slip-in snare or something. I looked like he put the end of the cable around the tree, then put the cable in the end somehow and cinched it down tight and it stayed there. The whole thing was very fast, I may look further into it.

You're right FT, went back and watched it again. Thought it was nerves the first time, due to such little twisting. Looks like he's still fighting, even with the good neck catch.

Definatly not a belisles.. I froze the video and zoomed in on it, looks like a northwoods.
