is it best to jig that pointer? love the blood smears!
You can certainly jig it, but I recommend dangling it off the edge of docks. I also offer custom colored anklets.
I love that it's thru-wire.
I only build quality at PointerProductions llc |

Location: Minneapolis, MN | Sadly I have to say I think I help funded this as this appears to be the realtor that sold me my house in the metro back in April. Had I known, I never would have used him. |

| The comments on that GoFundMe are comical and everyone should go read them. My favorites:
"This can not happen in our Gull Lake!!! We swim across that in summers! This fish is vicious!"
"Stop the madness"
"Don't let those bad boys in the lake" |

For some reason I can't see what your comment was on the GoFundMe mobile page. I'm dying to know what you wrote. |

| The picture used on the page makes me wonder if it wasn't caused by a pike?? A kid couldn't tell the difference and Pike are in Trout Lake near Alban Ontario. Seems more likely and we know how inaccurate a lot of these articles are.
Secondly the best (if not only) example they can come up with was a minor injury on a remote lake in Onatrio? If muskies are so dangerous where are all the accounts of attacks in MN? A 55" musky could mess a person up if it wanted to (which they don't). Just goes to show how hard they have to search to even attempt to make a case.
Thirdly $4000+ is a lot of money but if you look it was only raised by 25 people. So not a huge following, just some wealthy (and really bored) lake home owners.

| I'm seriously considering creating a parody video and putting it on YouTube. Something like a news report format interviewing both sides highlighting how bored and ridiculous these people are and attempt to make it funny enough to get views and shares. Might be the best way to get the message out there in some ways haha. |

| MuskieJim,
I would love to know what you wrote on the donation page for them to completely hide all comments!

That's a really great idea! |

Location: The desert | Gull was stocked yesterday. Wonder what that GoFundMe money will go to now, maybe a funeral for the death of the lake? |

'These fish are vicious!' Yeah, they eat swimmers all the time.
And people are actually giving this person significant amounts of money. I fear for this country some days.
A fool and their money are soon parted. I agree it's a wonder to me how humans have managed to survive as long as we have.
For thousands of years, the Darwinian principle took care of most of the idiots. Then about 50 years ago, we began to make widespread efforts to interfere with the Darwinian principle, e.g., "don't drop the radio in the bath tub", "don't use the lawnmower to trim the hedge". The end result is the number of idiots has increased alarmingly and they are also reproducing at a higher rate than the non-idiots. |

The good part for us is now that the lake has been stocked it'll be harder to stop it. |

If that's not the truth! And the non-idiots are expected to take care of them. Go figure. |

You'd think that, but I feel like the pelican association got pretty close to it this past year. |
