Whats the most dangerous thing that happened to you while ice fish? Non ice braking or falling in story. My two semi friends hit early ice this year and went out on the lake before daylight the set up the shanty and lite the heater,them the other guy screws on a propane 1 lb ball to the lantern,he hears it hissing( crossed the thread or just a bad tank,the shanty fills up with propane,whoosh the shanty's up in flames and the guy with the lantern in his hands is on fire,he had to roll in the snow to put out the flames,the shanty's screwed up and the other guy's hunting outfit got messed but all were OK,and unharmed,missing a few eye lashes and brows. We laugh at it now,but it really have been a sad story.
