ice fishing, whats the appeal?

[Marathonman]

Nothings more exciting that walking on clear black ice, then looking around your feet...hearing and seeing it crack around you feet and whoooshh, falling thru the ice. That numbing-shocking cold rush that comes thru you as you hit that chilling water knowing that you may never be able to fish again if you don't get out right now.
Also, the run to the car as your pants start to stiffen up, and realizing that you only brought 1 pair of pants and underwear - the one you just got wet.
These are tales to tell generations.
