Ice Fishermen Trapped on Northern Minnesota Ice Rescue Mission at 5 PM on Sunday
Quick reporting… Nice
Godda watch the wind up there!!
NATURAL SELECTION! M. O. R. O. N. S.
They must be Democrats don’t think Minnesotans would be that dumb would they?
Friday night there were holes and cracks all over both lakes as observed from the air.
Get rid of all warning labels as.well so the world will stop beading them people
Wonder if they will all die
Hey stay off the ice it's not ready yet
What a bunch of fools. Wrong year to be on the "ice".
This is why i dont go ice fishing
Really sad how ignorant people put other people in danger and take them away from home to rescue them no sorrow from me just brain dead
I drove up to Upper Red Lake today 12-17-23 and was like screw this noise this ice is NOT safe in any way shape or form. I did not even get my line wet. After being hauled out past the crack onto the iceberg they all are grouped up on i was like nope not this guy and i bailed. 5 hour drive there 5 hour drive home maybe next year but not any time soon will i set foot on the ice.
People forget: ice is just slow moving water. I've been on upper red in Jan and Feb and saw things go from normal to entrapping in 2 hours. Why people go to one stupid spor way out there when I can catch better fish 100yards off shore is truly baffling.and damn few people ever have a bailout plan. I've drug canoes out on sketchy ice several times. If things go south, oh well.
Just when I thought Minnesotans weren't stupid!
The ice everywhere in scetchy at best. Use some common sense
Heard reports on the south end it was about 5 inches. Had a friend that also confirmed it was 5" and some spot over 6". Can't say what the north part of the lake was but calling your fellow fisherman a moron is a bit much. Every sport has its risks. This is just one of those risk. It'd be one thing if ice was an inch thick but a majority was good ice. Big bodies of water are unpredictable. Winds can change and have unforseen outcomes. Hopefully no fatalities or injuries.
Im hearing people fishing on 2 inches of ice in northern wisconsin. 2 inches away from death. Yikes.
FIDIOTS
Some pretty cruel comments. In a world of division right now we don't need people wishing death on others.
Good fucking dumb asses. leave them out there
Bullshit happens every year. Leave them until they pay for ice recuse my damn tax dollars supporting this bs year after year😂
If I get on the lake, I make sure I can get off. I do not feel sorry for those that do not prepare for ice conditions.
This happened once before not too long ago. Are you people totally clueless?
Ahhh good old stupid has struck again!!!
Did they leave all their gear on the ice? Asking for a friend 😂
Hope it wasn't Mav or Murta!!!
