I can't even be sympathetic to a person that dumb. I sure hope he wasn't from Ice Shanty.

Happens every year ??? ???  Sad to hear and feel bad for the family... Unfortunately you can't fix stupid. If people are still skittish to walk out in some places it is a safe bet that a truck is not a good idea
How many times do I gotta go through holes before I watch where I'm going? I am an amateur fisherman, but an all star minnow drowner!

I wonder if alcohol was a factor? I'm also wondering what it cost to get his truck rescued? I've heard it's not cheap and I think it would be neat to get into the ice salvaging business.

I don't see the need to die for some fish.  On lake-link this was posted yesterday and someone said the lake has only 3"-4" on it.

You know, driving out like that at this time of the year is just plain "lights on, nobodys home"!!  Makes you want to almost remove the WI from your location on your avatar!!  Fin

Wow, I wonder if he was even going to go fishing or just take a joy ride on the ice???  Just a tad bit early to drive trucks on the lake...
