As a certified ice rescue member of our fire department i'd like to think i have a pretty fair amount of experience with our training and rescues. Folks, there simply isn't any size or amount of fish worth your life! When in doubt- STAY OFF! If you need to wear a PFD- STAY OFF! You are risking your own life and the lives of those who have to save you, Fellow fishermen or first responders. The incident above ended in a happy way, thankfully. I hope y'all have a safe and successful ice season. I'm looking forward to a few Strawberry and otter creek trips myself.
