All I have to say fellas is be careful, I've been through and so has many other icefisherman and it aint a good feeling. Almost lost a good friend this weekend, big dummy went icefishing in southern Ohio , never check the ice and went through in 15' of water, he said all he thought about the whole time was that he was going to die falling through the ice. If it wasn't for a few quick thinkers they'd be looking for a body right now. He's walking this earth with a little more respect for life right now. I think he saw his maker and this definitely gave him a wake up call. To see a grown man in tears 3 days after it happened is a somber feeling. All he talked about was not seeing his kids and losing his life going through the ice.It aint no joke , and he never laughed when he told the story, he did hit the panic button and screamed for his life, he did say he gave up trying and was at peace losing his life until some guys showed up with a log chain and pulled him out.
