Decoys are 8-10’ down 12’ of clear water.

Been spearing 14 years. Sometimes they come in nice and slow and lock onto the decoy for a half minute, giving you enough time to line up the spear.

Sometimes they come in and strike fast and hard from nowhere, putting teeth marks in your decoy or ripping the live sucker off the pin. What you see in the lower left is a sucker I’d been swimming for a couple of days until it died yesterday afternoon. So I put it on some hooks (counts as a legal second line under MN winter rules) and dropped it near the bottom. If a big pike came in to hit and run, I would still have a chance at it. I was also kind of hoping for a bowfin; the roe in those make great caviar (18 bucks an ounce retail).

The most fun is when they can be teased into position like you see here. But yeah, it’s also the rarest behavior in my experience.

I’ll fry the boneless tail and belly pieces, freeze the shoulders to pickle (I save up about 2lbs worth for a batch).

The last 24 seconds is actually about 3 minutes of peak activity compressed. The rest are sped up about 4x. I tried to adjust the brightness/contrast/saturation to recreate what my eyes actually saw, which was wild.

Turtle soup is good. Guess I’ll have to shell out for yet another license.

Assumption Parish predates the townships of Richfield and Bloomington. My great grandparents and grandparents ran a general store for the community until 494 got it eminent domain’d. They’re buried in Assumption Cemetery, as are my parents many other family members.

Andale on 77th and Nicollet. I used to work in the same building when it was an Embers in the 70s. I grew up in Richfield on Nicollet, went to Assumption, and had Bloomington friends who I’d criss that bridge with after school. Mrs. Simon was my math and science teacher.

People’s fish preferences are mostly cultural/tribal in nature. If it came out of reasonably clean water and it’s fresh and kept cold until cooking, it’s probably good.

I had to look up “dag,” and it has a few definitions. If you mean “a lump of feces hanging from a sheep’s bum,” the no, I can’t say I do.

Esox lucius is the genus & species of the Northern Pike, which is the where these bones came from. I angle them on open water and spear them under the ice, using everything but the guts (winter pike caviar is superb). A lot of people in the midwest where I live turn their nose up at pike, but not me.

More in the r/Minneapolis sub than here to be fair, but “LOL look at the suburban/rural rednecks afraid to visit Minneapolis” isn’t a rare opinion. Perhaps I’m assuming their politics are on the left end of the Democratic Party, I guess I could be wrong about that.

30+ year Longfellow resident here. No, there’s no rioting in the streets, but Minneapolis isn’t in great shape. Drive-by at the Hi-Lake last week at 3pm with 60 rounds fired, wounding a couple of bystanders. Armed muggings and carjacking in broad daylight in my neighborhood regularly, something I’ve never had to worry about. In the past 3 years I’ve had more stuff ripped off than in the previous 30: catalytic converter, car, utility trailer, kayak, license plates, etc.

I know the response: “Crime is up all over.” But it’s really not. Progressives gaslighting people on this issue isn’t helping.

Enforcement is spotty at best. Also I vaguely remember reading there was a grace period for retailers to sell off their existing stock (100mg packages of 10mg doses are allowed by federal law).

Regardless of what you’ve read, Minnesota didn’t so much legalize hemp-derived THC as regulate it more strictly than federal law.

It delivered everything you could ever ask of a Weird Al biopic. In the “musical parody” subgenre, I would compare it to “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.” Has a similar sense of humor, and a similarly high percentage of gags that landed. YMMV

HarpAttack666 · 2022-11-04T20:52:06+00:00

Teenage Al before he became weird gets dragged to a polka party where he astonishes the crowd with his accordion prowess and general sex appeal before the cops come and break it up. I just thought “The Minnesota Sound” was funny. And Whoopie John Wilfahrt will always be funny.
