Done ice fishing for the season. I had no problem getting on the ice this morning but getting off the ice was a different story.
I thought I picked a good route but NOT...
I went through the ice...no creaking, no crackling, no warning at all.
SPLASH...
I was in up to my belly, flopping, flailing, flailing, and flailing, trying to get out...
I made it.
The most valuable gear (camera and phone) were in my upper most pockets just in case.
I had to dig thru ice and slush in my lower pockets to find my truck keys.
Stick a fork in me...
I'm done.
Getting on the ice was tough if not impossible at times and once on, moving around was out of the question.
Record snow falls made hard-water fishing this year miserable at best.
Fish on, fish H8 me.

No shame in that Raz. Good on you for getting out one more time!
No video of you going through the ice? Pretty scary happening for sure. Glad you're OK. :)

Lucky for you Raz it was close to shore when you went through. Looks like you were in a hurry to pack up.I'm interested in what you're going to be doing over the next few weeks while the lake continues to thaw.
Goodness, glad you are ok. Enough is enough, already. Hope you get into some fish soon in open water.
Well i am glad your ok Raz, And i think you guys are all doing the right thing now by stowing your ice gear away, Just let the suns heat and nature do its thing, What with you going through the ice and John having to walk the plank, You know its time, I am already looking forward to your trolling for a megga size Salmon,
Good luck,
