it probable was for those that don't know how to judge is or smart

yes he is ok.....he has even been out on the ice again

oh ya wannafish.......i too live in ashtabula

a friend of mine had a fitting leak on propane heater after changing out tanks and it exploded on him. he is in hospital with burns over most of his body.

must remember to keep spare tanks warm and make sure no ice has formed around fittings of both tanks and units being used. ice chrystals form on necks of tanks when they are cold as you hook up a new tank. these chrystals cause propane to leak out around fittings.

a couple of years ago my son-in-law, his dad and i were out chasing crappy. one of the lanterns ran out of propane. the s-i-l change tanks and he ended up frost biting his hand when the tank wouldn't seal up and the tank leaked onto his hand.

  yep 

7 to 10" of ice were i was.

caught 13 crappy and 2 perch
smallest crappy was 10" and the largest was 13 1/2"
the perch were 9 and 11 1/2

had 1 crappy to the hole today that wouldn't fit thru. i have a 6" auger. i had it in my hand so i know it was a crappy, just couldn't get it up thru the hole and nobody around to give a helping hand.

i can relate to this one too........but it was in the back of the truck and the cover had fallen off. had went fishing in the morning and that afternoon went bird hunting with my irish setter. some time during the ride home after hunting the dog had step on the auger and cut the pad of the foot.....very deep and the full length.

didn't make it today....had to work on the car
