Vehicle Sinks in Lake of the Woods in Apparent Drowning Incident
I fished many lakes in MN and people please stay off the ice until it's safe.
So terrible š¢
Why do people feel the need to drive machines on thin ice ! Use your legs, lazy people!
Rest in peace my fellow angler. I've been near death myself on more than one occasion. Even in February weak spots exist. I prefer my snowmobile now. Lighter, easier to jump off. Sxs have roofs which trap you.
Sucks, I live on oak island too :/ in lake of the woode
That fish isn't worth your life.
Must be the best fish in the world if it's worth dieing for.
play stupid games
Darwin at work.
Please use common sense and stay safe. Prayers for all invovled..
What a sad deal. Thank you for the reporting.
Fish are available at the store
I know resorts are losing their ice fishing income this year, but seriously lives are at risk. Very sad.
Not sure how many brain cells it takes to understand the danger involved with traveling onto a sheet of bad ice with a heavy piece of machinery, but some people must feel that because they have money it doesnāt matter for them how stupid their actions are. It doesnāt. It just shows how lazy they are. They couldāve walked out there. If itās so far that you need a ride to the spot then Iād find a closer spot. Sad that someone lost their life because of it, but they were probably warned by every person they knew that it was a dumb idea. Amazing how humans have survived as long as we have. Not only are we not intelligent, but some of us just love to prove that we arenāt.
Prayers š please stay off the ice…
Play stoopid games win stoopid prizes. š You get what you get
The disrespect on here is ridiculous. A man lost his life, and you people know absolutely nothing about the situation and what caused the accident. Driving a car on the road is probably more dangerous than people going ice fishing, but sure keep up the stupid comments.
I've noticed a lot of people not wearing masks around the lake?!?! Wake up! We are in the midst of a pandemic with hospitals filling up. Masks saves lives.
Absolutely insane that ANYONE or ANYTHING is on the ice right now. Weather and/or buildup has effectively slowed ice development this year by a good 4 or 5 weeks. STAY OFF THE DAMN ICE until conditions allow for safe travel.
