Man from Bemidji dies after ATV falls through ice on Pike Bay at Cass Lake, MN, passenger survives
It’s been to warm Minnesota this 😢 every year this happens x5 🙏 to family
Living in Minnesota 80 somthing he should have known better
I blame cern for his death certainly
What part of don’t,don’t you understand stay off the Ice unless you like taking a stroll around the Lake with dat old Debil and he’s just waiting for you to be
Walmart was closed..gotta get out there and eat
My condolences to his family and friends. I'm itchin' to get out on the ice too, but I have a personal rule (endorsed by my wife) that I won't be the first one out on first ice to test it out and I won't be the last one off the ice when things warm up in the spring. I know, if everybody went by this rule, no one would go out, but fortunately not everyone goes by this rule and I do manage to get some ice time every winter. Please stay safe. You don't want to drown in ice cold water.
You would think that they would know what the condition of the ice is.. especially if you want to go out on a ATV.. NO FISH in the world is worth it… but condolences to the family..
We used to vacation in that area-gorgeous part of MN. SO sad to hear this.
I knew this man as a child. He was a good man, always kind to us. May his soul RIP.
That’s horrible to hear
May I ask how much ice was on that lake yesterday
He passed doing what he loved and at 82 he lived a long life. Rip sir
