This is a bit premature- should have waited until a few hundred more fisherman had to be rescued.
let them earn their Darwin Award.
😍🎉💡
I can't stop laughing 🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂, really this is so very very funny. Ding dong school is in session.
Are you kidding me oh come on. Gotta get those walleyes.
They will all retreat to the bars after sundown and conduct a meeting of the village idiots.
Although people are idiots, we generally do not want law enforcement to bar folks from using a public resource.
Love the “wow” in the background at 1:00
Exactly my reaction.
you should not be on the ice at all this winter ,on any lake .idiots .
How are people THAT impatient just to get on a damn lake?
Just leave them on ice for week.
Out of bounds
It’s amazing how many of you dipshits are cheering for “govern me harder, put more rules on us” we learned who all you people are in 2020, the people who would rather exist rather than actually live.
It’s about time they stepped in. Those stupid anglers jeopardizing rescue personnel. They should have to pay for their rescue. People are so inconsiderate !!!!!!
Well unfortunately people have created the situation to be required, it is a challenging situation to have so many rescuers at risk so frequently. One would think that there shouldn't be requirements like this, but I support it, so the rescuers don't have to keep risking their lives to save these folks so often. I am not saying they shouldn't be saved, but at the frequency this has happened, people, planes, and gear pretty much every day for several days, I think they all need a time out. Take a break until it gets colder and safer
All the fish houses out there is beyond ridiculous…🤦♂️
I thought that was part of the Reservation?
It’s about fucking time Mr Sheriff!!!!
Told yea so. 😊 had to keep pushing it
Does this include sleds
Early ice out predicted for January 28 on upper red.
Make these “fishing? People?” Pay to be rescued!!! There bobbers don’t even float!
Good job
Fresh water fish on,lol
That's good
Its about time. You can't fix STUPID fisherman.
Ya buddy, I will go fishing when people stop falling through the ice.
stooopid hwite people think they can do anything
Squareheads can`t sink they just bob!Round heads not allowed
Was out there today. 7-9” 3 miles out from the east side of the lake
That walleye is pretty good ,to die for
I know it's an odd angle but the drone footage of the ice… wow.
Should have never got a green light this winter
It’s weird how people are stranded on upper red lake but you haven’t heard anything about people getting stranded on lower red lake! Let that sink in!!!!
GOLD
It’s too bad people have to risk their lives to save these idiots.
Jason Riggs is 2 weeks late..what a dumbass..vote these incompetent people out of office!!
M-O-N-E-Y, tourist money that is.
