The lakes do not have adequate ice. In some areas of MN the high is 52 degrees. π«π§
Good deal, law enforcement and Fire department should STOP helping these idiots who go fishing on thin ice. This is why our government makes laws and rules on just about everything, so many fucking idiots. Stay at home, where they belong.
Oh my! I am so sorry! π
Prayers to the family
People need to stay off the ice, itβs not safe right now. This is not the first accident this year with people vs Ice
Thoughts and prayers for everyone affected by this absolutely terrible news.
Leave your rod and reel home, son, leave your rod and reel at home.
I don't think the temp never even got close to zero this December if you're going to go ice fishing this December being a boat there is more open water than ice !!
i live in canada, and even we know its still way to early to venture on the ice..
Very sad. Poor family.
even my crazy coworker that was out fishing in faribault last weekend said not a chance this weekend
That's a shame God bless his family
You can't fix stupid
So sad, condolences to that family.
Catching a fish is not worth anyones life. I have ice fished for many years by one simple rule this may seem harsh. If your stupid your going to die. This is an unusual winter please stay off the ice !!!!!
Ice conditions deteriorated quite a bit today. The ice has lots of air bubbles in it making it very weak.
Darwinism never stopsβ¦.how can you feel sorry when people put themselves in mortal danger?
It was like 40 degrees out today, I am not going on any lake. RIP
Ice fishermen are nuts
Iβm So Saddened for Your Family & Friends. My Condolences & PRAYERS ππ, I Pray The Lord Jesus will comfort you & family ππ
