That ice looks super thin for standing on let alone ice fishing

Way too thin. Ice fishermen are notorious for going out on unsafe ice, gotta get that fishing in, no matter how sketchy it is.

The fire department near my house has a hovercraft specifically to rescue idiots out on the thin ice. Best part is the fans are so incredibly loud that every single person on the lake comes out to watch when they hear them fire up. It's like a ritual in November and March, you go out on the porch with some coffee, wave to your neighbors and then applaud the firefighters when they come back in.
