By taking the precautions that you did, your experience told you that the ice was dangerous. If you are strapping a rope from one guy to the other, because the ice is too thin – get off the ice. Glad some of you caught some fish, but man, is it really worth it guys??? I mean seriously, in the grand scheme of life, it's a fish...
I’m glad most people see this trip as being foolish, I know I won’t be reading a report about you in the newspaper in the future… As for some of you other guys – be safe, the fish will be there tomorrow…
