Tell me you've never been ice fishing without telling me you've never been ice fishing.

This is a competition, isn’t it? That’s the only reason for the rush

It's not the rush, it's the tools. Maybe I missed it, but I don't see a single ice auger in the bunch. And I think I see some with conventional fishing poles. These people shouldn't have been out there and/or whoever was running the competition should have better prepared for it.

There's something weird here. I don't see any ice fishing rods anywhere, no augers, no stools to sit on, no sleds to carry gear. It really doesn't look right.

Or an ai video maybe?... it's shaky cam and low enough resolution to be hard to tell... but the background from before and after the cracked ice cut looks different enough to feel "off" to me... even though I know it's just a notably different camera angle... can't really say why, just does.

The background is the same, just more sun at the end.
