Best friend went icefishing this past weekend, went by himself and to be honest he really has never icefished in his life. He bought some gear and thought he give it a try. Well his first time out was almost his last, the big dummy went out on a lake never checked anything and by luck or chance he walked be a group of guys who were in close to shore. He thought he'd walk on the main lake and thats when he fell through in 15' of water. To listen to him tell you , his eyes teared up and he said all he thought about was losing his life ICEFISHING. He said he screamed for his life and basically gave up until that group he passed heard him and saved his life.Luckily they had a rope and threw it to him because he said he gave up and was at peace with dying when they showed up. This was in southern Ohio and they don't get good ice anyways but with a few precautions (i.e) spud bar he might never have went through. So remember you can be Billy Bad @ss icefisherman but when you go through you soon turn into Billy Boy wishing you were somewhere else!!!!
