I got this as a txt FWD from a friend of my moms that I fish w/ a lot and he said he heard this beat the old MN state record by 1.5lbs, which was shot by a bow fisherman on Kelly-Dudley 50" anybody know anything more about this?

Very well might beat the state record, but it won't go in the books as like CMJ said it must be caught.

Very cool fish though! Congrats to the lucky angler!

I will send my kids back down to the lake now. smile I know the DNR netted 2 of them in the last survey....wasn't that big, so there must be many more in here.

Nice fish!

I have not seen a gar up close. What danger do they present to a swimmer ? Are they aggressive or would danger be from accidental contact. They bite or bad to step on or what?

Do they hang out in the shallows or deep ?

Curious looking creature...

Ok, from what I googled I found that an attack would be a result of pulling one into the boat or stepping on one. I did not find where they will attack out of spite. What I did find on Snopes (search on GAR) was a nice picture of a Gar that probably would find Mongo to be suitable snack.

If the link won't fly here try snopes keyword gar.

I would rather see you post the information direct rather than using the link. Thank you.

A fish that size would need a much bigger meal than that Mongo.

Oh man, that's brutal.

We used to catch smaller ones out in South Dakota - usually by accident. A friend of mine tried cleaning and eating one - it took a tin snips to get through the skin - and after trying it like "poor man's lobster" - it probably wasn't worth the effort...

That Lakemaid I caught was pretty nice though....

So... Does anybody have any more information about this fish? Was it taken at night or during the day?

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      By Dash 1 · Posted

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
