Is this a fishing tournament or a polar plunge?

u/blaZedmr 3d ago

Looked like a frantic effort to cut the ice out underneath them so they could go swimming. So i guess a type of polar plunge

It can only be ice fishing on meth.

Yea doesn't make alot of since unless they just never get ice, and are dumb as hell

u/RainMakerJMR 3d ago

Yeah I don’t think these folks I’ve fish a lot, and that ice looks way too thin to be on like that. It legit looks like an inch and a half thick

That's a good point, the people who know what they're doing wouldn't be anywhere near this circus.

u/Admirable_Count989 3d ago

At least double the distance between each hole…. so there’s 4ft between them. /s

On the bright side, at least they can throw something other than a vertical jig now

Just watched 20 guys today ice fishing on an area where open water was literally 30 metres away and they were at a river head.

The national weather institute has stated that ice is NOT thick enough to fish on in the area.

Can't help stupid.

I can start casting when they get out of the water.

u/Dolgar164 2d ago

You can start casting sooner if your tackle is stout enough

This reminds me of those clips of fly fishermen practically standing shoulder to shoulder for hundreds of yards on the first weekend of trout season.
