DNR ups walleye size limit for Lake Mille Lacs
By Katie Fongvongsa, WCCO Intern
MILLE LACS, Minn. – Lake Mille Lacs anglers are now able to test their luck in keeping a walleye.
According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, those fishing Lake Mille Lacs can now keep a walleye that is 20 inches long starting Aug. 1. Although, the one-fish limit will remain in place.
The DNR states that the reason why it changed the length was because of this year’s low catch rate. During the yearly fall test netting, the organization found an increase in yellow perch.

Walleye eat those fish, instead of latching onto anglers’ hooks. Like last fishing season, the lake has around the same amount of walleyes greater than 14 inches.
The rules are that now anglers may take one walleye between 20-23 inches long or one over 28 inches long. This adds just one more inch to the smaller range of walleye.

The DNR said this still retains the lake’s sustainability and ups the chances of someone taking a walleye home.

Anthony Edwards Calls Out Team After Minnesota Timberwolves Lose To Knicks
On Thursday night, the Minnesota Timberwovles hosted Karl-Anthony Towns and the New York Knicks at the Target Center.
There was a lot of emotion due to the fact that Towns made his return for the first time as a member of another team.
The Timberwovles lost by a score of 133-107.
Via StatMuse: “Karl-Anthony Towns tonight:
32 PTS
20 REB
6 AST
10-12 FG
5-5 3P
+31
Showed out in his return to Minnesota.”
After the tough loss, Anthony Edwards called out his team when he met with the media (h/t Dane Moore of Blue Wire).
Edwards: “We don’t have s**t on offense. We don’t have no identity. We know I’m gonna shoot a bunch of shots, we know Ju gonna shoot a bunch of shots and that’s all we know. We don’t really know anything else. It’s not on the coaches at all. It’s on us. We’re out there playing.”
Edwards finished the loss with 17 points, five rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one block while shooting 7/16 from the field and 3/7 from the three-point range in 34 minutes of playing time.
The Timberwolves dropped to 14-12 in 26 games, which has them as the eighth seed in the Western Conference.
They are still 6-4 over their last ten.
Following New York, the Timberwolves will play their next game when they host Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors on Saturday evening.
Since trading Towns over the offseason, they have yet to look like a team that is coming off a 2024 Western Conference finals appearance.
