Video I did on Saturday.

Enjoy fellas.

Stay safe out there.

Good job Hutchy . Thanks for taking one for the team !

Thnx. I should have gone to thinner ice, but it worked out.

I do it every few years just for the heck of it.

Lotsa fun

Dang Hutchy! I know you do this for fun, but bring at least one friend with you, please?

Is there a possibility that you could get wedged in that kind of ice and not pull yourself out? I was thinking your feet barely fit through, I could imagine that big jacket keeping you stuck in the ice.

Thanks for the concern JP!

I dont think there is much chance of that, but its a good piece of info. I could have broken it away a bit more if needed.. The hole being too small is usually never an issue. The bigger issue is always the ice breaking and crumbling, which makes getting your weight spread out a bit more important. Otherwise you keep breaking it and it tires you out.

This one was one of the easiest. Sometimes you have to go under a bit further to get momentum to pop yourself out in one shot like an otter. lol

The real question is...have you subscribed yet?? lol.


Nice wolf mount by the way

Good informative video Hutchy.
JP,get yourself a tub of vaseline and you wont have to worry about getting wedged in the hole.

There is a joke here, staring me in the face, but not going to touch it lol

That’s why I said bring a friend. Need someone to rub it on me! Wanna be my friend Boco?

Thanks Hutchy! I’ll look the video up on YouTube and subscribe. Watching it from the link here doesn’t give me that option.

And were off! lol



cool! thnx!

Nice work on this video.

Thanks!

Hutch, you go through all that trouble and don't come up with a laker?? I mean now that would have been impressive!!

Next time I'll tie a rope to my leg and go for a swim!

God you guys are hard to impress!!

good stuff

thanks for the video

I wouldn't recommend a rope, but some braided with a fluorocarbon leader strung to a Swedish pimple should do the trick...Next time!!

So I hold this in my teeth...or?

A sheet bend to the end of the safety line , get real man you don't want to loose a fish

Clove hitch my man!

Should have figured out how to throw a bimini twist in there somewhere....

the clove hitch is for attaching the line to the stick that is the anchor point

a Sheet bend is for attaching lines of two different sizes or ah um a sheet as in a sale or tarp

I suppose you could use a double fisherman's knot
