    Bob…I’m blind to this stuff so I have questions…1) What are they suppose to do with Muskies that are caught in their nets? Bring them in for the DNR to account for or throw them back…2) How do we know those were Musky and not Northern?

    I think that this is the reason (one of many) that so many fisherman HATE gill netting. Unlike angling or spearing, you cant choose what fish get harvested.

    and to take it a step further, throwing them back dead or in a ditch to rot, so as to not count towards your quota, adds insult to injury.

    We’ll if people would stop blindly throwing there money at the casino’s over the netting issue maybe we would get some where with this subject, money talks and empty casino’s will certainly get there attention. Of course every time I drive by a casino there are cars and bus’s everywhere – just stating an observation

    OHHHHHHHH SO TRUE!!!!!!!!


    Except that it isn’t just fishermen that visit casinos. I highly doubt it would be enough for them to beg to have netting and spearing revoked.

    And a lot of the fishermen who visit casinos don’t care because spearing and netting does not affect them directly.

    TO TAKE THIS ONE STEP FURTHER……….. BOYCOTT CASINOS BECAUSE THEY DONT PAY TAXES ALSO!!!

    This one washed to shore( we watched it get released and tracked it to shore)–note the marks on the fishes head from the use of a tool to extract the fish from the strangle hold the net mesh had on it…

    Where is their DNR or Mn DNR? They turning a blind eye to the indians?

    Wanna help Steve but you just bought that new Harley and cash a bit short??

    Check the classifieds guys, some are selling items for donations to help Steve pay for the legal expenses.

    I’m using this to clean the garage and see what else I can sell to help.

    A quote, in writing from the MN. DNR–” we have to believe what GLIFWC reports to us”.

    All the nets I see pulled are very full the past few days. This morning, like past ones, the 8-9 nets in front of my place had about 60-70 fish per net. (northerns discarded on the water) two boats today brought in about 500-600 walleyes alone…and there were multiple dozens of nets within a mile of the house that I couldn’t see, but assumably, would have similar numbers in them.

    If one does the math, at 500 walleyes weighing in around 800-900 pounds (or more), how long does it take to get 140,000lbs. by the 50 plus nettiing boats out each day?

    Fox guarding the hen house yet I have a quote from the Mn. DNR saying “we have to believe what GLIFWC (the fox) reports”.

    It is an amazing sight to see the mass of walleyes hauled in during a 15 minute time frame by one or two boats……with two “anglers” per boat.

    “It’s not a conservation issue”. Mn. DNR

    This fish is floating around Facebook as the fish in question. I have NOTHING to prove it is or isn’t the actual fish!

    Fake. Indians don’t grow mustaches, at least not ones that thick.

    The guy looks like he grew up somewhere in the middle-east. Maybe that’s the “Iron Sheik”

    Look at the bright side, one less invasive taken out of the lake.
