My son was with a friend flying a drone near North Oaks, MN. They flew the Drone over an eagle nest. There were so many small pet collars intertwined in the next they could count them. Most were pink, some had rhinestones. Can only hope they were cat collars.
It’s not the 90s anymore. Almost all tournaments in MN have banned cull tags that go into the fish. They require the clamp on style cull tags now.
The holes you see in fishes jaws/lips are from people who think they are Roland Martin setting the hook like they’re about to bring in a 100 lb tuna.

Must be amazing to know fish inquires are caused by one thing on every lake in Minnesota, Apparently you are the only person that knows how to properly handle a fish? Oh and if you believe all anglers follow all the rules you are mistaken. I know a cull tag hole when I see one. Apparently the word is not out that pins cull tags are illegal in central to western Minnesota because you can hardly catch bass on tourney lakes that your thumb doesn’t touch your thumb when you try to pick it up. They are Cull tag holes 100%.
What ever way you go, dont assume your current wiring will work. Confirm it is 10/2 tinned marine grade, you can get some good stuff cheap on Amazon. Run the power to an inline fuse holder (7.5Amp) then to a switch near your battery. From the switch jump up to 6 gauge wire to a larger ring connector and connect that direct to your battery. You will alleviate a lot of problems down the line by wiring it all right one time.
If you go Humminbird you will have very good mapping in our region, Id say the best but that might start an argument. You will get the best Side and down imaging. this is almost not arguable, it is widely agreed upon and why many pros still have at least one bird on their boats. Where you can get hung up is on the “generation” of the Humminbird product AND network vs Non-network units. I would target any 10″ screen or larger that is SI/DI/GPS, but make sure it is at last G4N (Generation4 and N stands for Networkable) if you look at the discontinued Helix units. The G4n I compatible with mega 360, Mega Si/Di and Gen 1 Mega Live. The 10″ screen size is starting point for Side imaging anything smaller and you are cramming a lot into a little screen. At 10″ you can still see the Mega Imaging out effectively at a distance of about 80′ each way.
I personally like to catch bass, for a shorth time, that aren’t scarred up or have Pinned Cull tag holes in their jaws. I am Happy to give them a couple months to rest and recover from pressure. There is a reason our bass fisheries are in such great shape. Why break what is fixed.
I have a chance to fish Rainy this weekend, cabin is just north of Jackfish bay just east of I falls. I am not sure if i would want to focus on walleyes or crappies but open to both. Does anyone know what the ice fishing is like in that area?
Love mine, look good but load similar to carpet without the sand getting in the carpet. Dry with in a few minutes of driving away from the landing. i have not found anything not to like. Not sure why you would unhook on a steep ramp so I won’t comment if it is possible.
Just addtional info, I also replaced my carpeted fender boards with 1/4″ HDPE. Carpet free trailer is the way to go, Cant understand why some brand boats/trailers dont already come this way.
Cant wait for the next chapter.
Joes has 2 hideouts, $399.
No mention of the Otter Hideout? Just got one this year and love it. Had the XT legend, with minimal snow fall and glare ice conditions I found it caught too much wind and the house would constantly blow away due to so much surface area of canvas. My only option was to anchor it down to keep it from blowing off. Which meant I had to move all my gear to safety when I got up to go outside. I sold it within 2 weeks of owning for that reason. The Sierra or Nanook are great options for a large one man/two man house, i’ve had both. They are a bit heavier, i got tired of Ice fishing being so much work. I bought the hideout this year. I love the fact the poles don’t telescope, it is truly flip and fish design. It is so light weight! easy to pick up and toss in the truck. The seat is elevated off the floor of the sled which provides more space than you would think. They are built like tanks. I added a hammock over head, two otter rod holders and put some short skis on the bottom. The skis eliminate the need to add hyfax and give me the right length to prop them on the tailgate and slide it in the truck. I was concerned the ceiling was too low, but found it does not get pushed nearly as much by the wind on glare ice. It has limited space but I kept reminding myself I got this house to be streamlined, to lighten my load. I already have several bigger houses I could take but have left them all in storage since i got the hideout. Cant go wring with this house, I saw Joes did have a couple on clearance last week.

I’m just gonna say this, the Hughes family is bad for USA hockey. Quinn could have played and didnt (trust me he was fine), Luke is an overhyped player and single handedly gave away the World Jr Gold due to his selfish play ( I wont ever forget his terrible play in Word Jr). And last night Jack, was Dog SH*t and was all tourney. He was a coward, he shied away from any contact more than a protestant in a whorehouse. Literally fell more than he made a play and he fell every time he was within 5′ of a Canadian player. D one coverage in OT, he glanced at 97 and covered the point. Matthews and the d were a bit to blame as well, your better off to have 2-3 guys on 97 and let the other perimeter players be open, but he jumped to the point coverage. Just sh#tty cowardly play all tourney by him. Jack was the forward version of Jarod Spurgeon. Great in regular season, but not so much in the playoffs. I agree Connor should have been in there, and no Kreider is not replacing Tkachuck any time soon. Slavin was unreal and Faber is a potential face of the league. deservedly so because he is as good a person as he is a player. It was great to see the national media finally recognize it. Dont think Team USA shouldn’t ne a bit frustrated that M TKachuck said he was good to go by the way. They needed his morale boost but if you are that injured, and they could have had another healthy forward suited up, would that have made a difference? not much good comes from jumbled lines an entire game. so it was a bit selfish by him to say he was good to go. OK thats it, GO WILD we came away healthy!It’s fitting that i’m quoting you for this post: “This is the dumbest thing anyone has ever said in these threads”
I love the personal 180 on Mathew Tkachuk being the greatest team mate in the history of hockey to him being selfish in a span of 5 days…
Do you just read what you want to read? Whatever fits your agenda? I insinuated the decision to play was selfish. It would have been impossible to keep him out as a coach but he could have been more honest with himself for the good of the team. I did NOT say a player in Krieder, that is obviously not even close to the same level of player, was interchangeable. I did not say if Kreider played for Tkachuck it would “Not be a big loss”.
So Yeah, double down on the dumbest thing ever said on here.

That’s awesome

Chris Krieder is the same type of player as Tkachuk, so it wont be that big a loss if Mathew can’t go Thursday…

This is the dumbest thing anyone has ever said in these threads. No one could replace those Tkachucks RN. You can go grab some printed stat or contract detail off contracts.com to try an prove your point but the game is not played on paper. There is NOTHING on paper that will come close to proving Kreider is as good a leader as MT. Nothing that will show the Heart that MT has. Nothing that proves he will play with Broken Ribs like MT has. You will notice how MT’s teams have been successful – at EVERY Level he has ever been. MT and BT are not playing for themselves, they are playing for their team, their Family, and USA. They pulled everyone into that game, no way Kreider ever does that. Al of that is why Kreider’s teams have NEVER produced to the end. I would add that even if Kreder showed up and performed above his normal intensity level, it would have been fueled by MT’s efforts Saturday night, because even in absence MT is a Natural born motivator.
Meanwhile Connor Hellebuyck’s brother, Chris is in 32nd at the Bassmaster open on Sam Rayburn. One good fish from upgrading quite a bit.
The thread was started as “is catch and release bad??” and seems like deep water and barotrauma was brought in so a bunch of people could agree that “yeah, catch and release is bad”. The deep water and barotrauma make it a completely different conversation
I’m just a little taken aback by how many fishermen here seem to feel catch and release fishing is unethical
I do not think C&R is bad, but I do know a LOT of fisherman participate in C&R over deep holes and are unaware or don’t care what happens as long as a fish swims back down their hole out of site. Heck I don’t even keep many fish, I primarily practice C&R. But with Livescope there are a lot of people that are now reaping the rewards and just don’t know that fish are absolutely dying when brought out of deep water. It may take awhile but they die.
Earlier in the season I was fishing a 30-34′ basin over a massive school of gills and crappies. The ice was 10″ and crystal clear. I was popping though 8-10 holes over about 200 square foot area. It was a community hole. I was stunned by the number of dead fish under the ice. Most very large crappies. No Snow and good ice coverage provided the ability to see these fish. I started only fishing the top of the school, about 15-16′ down so as not to kill any fish due to barotrauma. What we don see doesn’t hurt us but this year opened my eyes.
If that hot bite was over deep basin, I am sure you can be assured a majority of the fish pulled from deeper waters died.
Has any one seen or heard a turtle box ? I see lots of great reviews but starting at 500 bucks it’s a tough blind purchase.
AT Joes go check them out. I have a Bose Revolve, have had it for years. It has sat in rain puddles in my boat. still works great. That said those UE Booms are good too and louder if you are looking for that.
In reading this thread, I realized I do not use the ? and ! and ALL CAPS nearly enough. The use of spaces between words and ! and ? is also critical in projecting the intensity of meaning of the written word.
I am going to try this again.

Yeah way more impactful !! Now if you will excuse me I feel like I need to go stop traffic to hold working people from getting to work or some other ridiculous cause !?!?!
Saints would work, as in latter day. Then they could have some savage with a black hat and burlap facemask as a mascot. See American Primeval for reference.
lost in the Kirill news is WTF is up with Brodin? Did he break his foot or not? there’s no way tissue bruising keeps a player out this long…are they keeping him out with something other than his foot?
Yes
we can joke with each other and disagree on things, but this reply is just uncalled for imo…

So are most of yours.
I guess besides wormdunker I’m failing to see who is really blasting his skating. At the time of the trade that was talking from pundits but I haven’t seen or heard much lately. I think you are being the old man who yells at clouds.
Read again. Try using two eyes and put the bottle down or bong
Will you find the video in the D zone of the penalty he took vs Nashville? I think Nashville scored like 8 seconds into that PP. He got walked in the d zone corner, I didn’t grab the video when it happened and flaunt it here because I thought anyone with half a brain would see that and realize that was a moment his footwork issues were evident. He struggled there. You just provided a highlight of what everyone knew was/is his strength pre trade; Offense, where he dictates where he is going and does not need to react.
The knock pre trade was d zone foot work, big man, tight space, tracking quick direction changes, reactions to all that. I like him, I like his upside. I do think he is a little rough in the d zone as was reported, but he is not nearly as rough as I thought he would be and has improved with ice time he has been given. AN has already worked to improve his skating. The future is so bright for Wild d. I cant think of another d corp that has transformed more in a short period and has potential to be elite than the wild, its exciting.
Wrapped it in cling wrap then duct taped it. Now thinking pool noodle and ship it. It’s close to snapping in half would like to keep it intact and see if I can get a still shot of it getting slashed. They gave away two sticks at the end and he got one. Actually pretty cool Avs fan said he could take his seat along the tunnel. So thank you to that guy.
Team was pretty jacked up heading up the tunnel after the game. They were chirping a bit.
Dad is now checking flights to Utah.
find a local hockey shop and pay them to ship it, then when home take it to Integral hockey and get it repaired.

With the opponent being the defending western conference champs at mostly full strength, who have won 7 of 8, on national TV, this has the potential to get out of hand quickly. And everyone will see it too. Buckle upanother good game to evaluate Jiricek’s skating ability… I think it’s been over blown sofar…
He has overactive feet when transitioning, what takes a great skater 1-3 strides to accomplish, he needs 4-5. It looks frantic vs smooth. Specifically referring to change of directions and/transitioning back to front vice versa. Its very noticeable if you compare his mechanics to Brock, Spurgeon or Brodin, not so much with the wild d-core he has played with. He also seems to spend more time on the ice, off his feet. But overall he has worked hard and has NOT been why our d core has struggled.
Marat is being throttled back. He is also doing everything he can to not make mistakes. He is passing too much. Someday the cuffs will be taken off.
Not going to argue the 4th line guys lack of productivity but i also dont think it can be overlooked how little they have hurt the team. Last night they were exposed because we dont have any puck moving d out there with them. Pucks got reversed on the way out of the zone or the breakout pass never occurred leaving them in a vulnerable spot. Bogo had particular issues with the puck and Middleton and Chisolm struggled too. I think they were trying to do too much to make up for the missing starters. Back to the 4th line, I would much rather have their safe low offensive production than a Duhaime. The Wilds biggest issue when the Duweys were here was odd man strength situations, a lot of them!
Duhaime avg’d 64 games 12 points and 77 pims, he is still on a similar path with Wash. Dewar avg’d 57 game 19 pints and 33 pims. Shaw 30 gms 3 pts and 30 pims. Lets remember some names: Petan, Luchini, Beckman, Khaira, Walker, Raska.
2025
Devin Shore has one point, 3 PIMS over 24 games.
Jones 0 points 10 PIMS in 25 games
Marat 41 gms 4 points and 12PIMs.
Gonna stop regurgitating stats but Lauko and Trennin aren’t near the damaging numbers that dewys/beckman/sahw were.
Given the $15 mil cap issue, i think the 4th line is doing what is needed of them given their limited capabilities on ice. They arent getting the Wild into trouble. The record speaks it.
speculation is not allowed on this thread.
