That’s what I’m talking about!

Considering this is the state that let people burn down a police station and take over a small part of its biggest city………speaking only for myself I don’t have much fear of casting hookless lures into a river 🤣🤣 Bring it on, I like everything about the idea. What is there to lose at this point?
