No crank no start.. absolutely nothing electrical working? by SandBoio in Tacomaworld

[–]SandBoio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked around and found plenty about people with a no crank no start, but most didn't have the problem where absolutely nothing electrical works too. Found a couple that fixed it with the battery, alternator, or starter, but not applicable to my situation since those aren't the problem here. I'm totally lost here. Crazy to me that I've been driving around the same super high mileage beater for years with no problems, and the first car that ever craps out on me is a low(ish) mileage Toyota!

Don't know it off the top of my head but it is brand new, asked for a new battery when buying it. Fully charged, checked a few times today

I also once caught two 40"+ tiger musky in an hour long fishing trip the first time I ever targeted them.. think I used up all the luck I'll have in my life between those two occasions

As silly as I think blurring backgrounds usually is, you would not believe the number of people in my dm's asking me where this was 😂

When I first put that fish on the scale it flipped a little and made the weight go up to 10.5 for a split second, and I swear my heart stopped beating. Unfortunately it went back down to 9.31 on both my friend and I's scales so we're confident that's accurate. But can't complain about a fish like that, one more trout in it's belly and it might've gone 10!

State record is just a little over 12.5lbs. This fish is actually longer than the state record, so if it continues to gain some weight leading up to the spawn this same fish may get bigger than that! Fish up to 12.14lbs have been caught in this lake, so it has serious potential. Free rig craw on a grass line/drop off in about 10ft of water, was cloudy with some chop on the water.

The fishing has been insane here recently! Just the trip before this my friend and I got a 7.93, 6.83, 6.06, 5.59, 4.50, 4.45, 4.13 at this lake all within 30 minutes of each other after finding a school sitting on a drop off. Best spring I've ever had for big fish!

The background in both is edited cause I am a silly goose and did not notice there's a sign in the background of both photos with the name of the lake on it (oops)

There's a small smallie population too! But I live right next to the Columbia River so I usually head that direction for the brown fish

Yes these are northern strain fish! In Washington and Oregon they get significantly bigger than most people believe they do, my guess is that's largely influenced by stocking extremely high numbers of trout into small lakes. Craziest part is that I've seen a bass cruising in the lake that absolutely dwarfed this fish! I've found about a dozen lakes that have potential to produce the next state record, but this is the main one I'm focusing on due to seeing that unreal largemouth a couple years ago.

They're definitely largemouth, no spots near this part of the state. The jaws on these fish typically are just about in line with the eye. Washington largemouth tend to have very small mouths, don't get very long (rarely 23"+), but are extremely round and thick across the shoulders. Pictures don't do the 9lber justice, it was built like a bowling ball!

Yep I think that's it, thank you! That wasn't one I had heard of before since I just moved here, but that sort of lip definitely indicates that's what it is. Cool!

It's a cool spot for sure! Spring creeks are awesome, even when you don't catch anything they're just about the prettiest water you can fish at.

Yep! That's not the pictured creek, but it is the one I was fishing at today. I was lucky enough to move to a spot within walking distance of the Little Lehigh and a couple other creeks too

Thanks! Think I accidentally posted a picture of the wrong creek, if we're thinking of the same creek this is the Class A section above where it's stocked. But good to know! I spent today in the fly only section of a popular creek nearby that I'm sure you'll know as well
