Be safe everyone's
I wouldn't mind running into petrowske and fishing for gators with him. Legendary lunker hunter. Forgot he is a MN boy, because I know he fishes alot in north Dakota. I think I am going to get ahold of him and see if he can teach me how to fish that lake
People never wait long enough for the ice to be ready.
