Ice Fishermen Rescued on Upper Red Lake Sunday Night: Dozens Saved
It happens every year I don't understand why they let people out on it this early it ain't been cold enough. These resorts should be held countable in some way for this to by letting people out on it from their resorts
Glad they are ok.
you can step over a 1 inch crack on the way out but if you don't watch the wind that crack can be 8 ft by lunch. No one's life was in danger, it happens on Erie every year,
ðŸ¤ðŸ˜‚🤣😂🤣
Well duh how stupid it's not been a normal winter how ðŸ§
Must have that "itch" bad enough to put their lives at risk for a fish when it hasn't even been COLD enough to hardly freeze
Glad they are okay, but isn't this the ice fishing equivalent of "Everyone forgets how to drive after the summer?"
Happens all the time . Idiots won't learn.
Hey everyone!!!! Free gear on upper red!!! 😂
The coast guard don't let them bring anything back!!
