Them's fightin' words right there Gunflint. Though I think the flatlanders from the South gotcha beat in presumptuousness. They believe they own the state from border to border. They're wrong too.

Can't fault you for trying, I guess you guys need to go somewhere to see a real football team

Minneapolis has been looking up at GB for so long, I can see how they'd think they were living in the ghetto.

mandoryan -

what ice do you hit down there? Buddy and I tried Neshonoc once when we were in college and got skunked - heard they have a derby on there (or used to) but we couldn't seem to find any good fish.
We kept to the Sippi backwaters after that - much better success

I am now certain that the Packers' Deep State has infiltrated the management of this website to the detriment of those with 10,000 lakes that others can only dream of.

Even 10,000 is typical of our understated approach to life as we actually have over 15,000 lakes.

Apparently, all that is left for us is to pray for a miracle on the football field.

Not sure where you're gettin' yer numbers from GF. According to your own DNR MN is only at about 12K.

"In total, Minnesota has 11,842 lakes, which is about 3,000 less than Wisconsin’s more than 15,000.
But the two states use different definitions to determine what counts as a lake.

While Minnesota defines a lake as a body of water that covers at least 10 acres, Wisconsin doesn’t have a size requirement. A Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources online database of state lakes contains thousands of lakes less than an acre in size or unnamed.

Still, counting named lakes of at least 10 acres, Wisconsin has 11,981 lakes, 139 more than Minnesota, according to data provided by the Wisconsin DNR."

And if'n ya count the Great Lakes more of our state is covered in water than yours.

Go on if ya like, it's the deep end of the pool

As far as football, when was the last time the Queens won a Super Bowl...

BTW, you didn't know that IS runs right out of WI? Yep, King Scott, reigning admin lives only a couple hours north of me. That's probably enough for this round. FWIW, as far as I'm concerned, this is all recreational BS (at least on my part) and you are always welcome here. General board, WI board, jump in where ya feel comfortable. Just like havin' folks be a part of this and relish those that like to "poke the bear" once in a while

At some point we have to draw a line in the sand Football is football and lakes SHOULD BE lakes.

Although it may come as a surprise to some people in Wisconsin, they are not the best in EVERYTHING.

If we use Wisconsin’s lake database and apply the same 10-acre standard as Minnesota, Wisconsin has only 5,898 lakes.

Based on the federal data:

— Minnesota has 124,662 lake/pond features, while Wisconsin has 82,099.

— Minnesota has 8,784 lake/pond features with a name, while Wisconsin has 5,481.

— Minnesota has 14,444 lake/pond features of 10 acres or more, while Wisconsin has 6,176. (This is over twice as many lakes! )

For context, 10 acres is about seven-and-a-half football fields (including end zones). That’s also the cutoff Minnesota uses to define lakes.

Using a 25-acre cut off, Minnesota also has more than twice as many lakes — 8,466 to 3,350.
(These are the "MANLY" lakes that football players would fish )

Well see there... Doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. All depends on what you count and how you count it or where the information comes from.

One thing I do know: MN has better musky fishing, on the whole, than WI. Also generally better walleyes too. I know the muskies benefit from long enlightened management. As for the walleyes, I can't say. I just know it is so a tip of the hat for that

Once I get my move north squared away I wanna come visit and sample some of that MN fishing, heck GF, if you're close I'll even buy you a Hamm's

The state of leading the NFC North. Which also means it has nothing to do with anything Minnesota.
