Come with Bob, Pam, Willie, Andrew, Donovan and Grandpa to go ice fishing. We get to Lily Pond only to find that it is covered with 3-4" of slush. Bob's ready to move on, but grandpa suggests we use the Ice Chisel to see how much real ice is underneath. The answer, about 6"-- so we go out and dig 6 holes and begin the long wait. Bob knows that ice fishing is really about spending time outdoors because he has never seen anyone catch fish this way -- until one of the flags flip up and Willie takes over. The reward: an 18" pickerel that hardly fits through the hole in the ice. After a few photos he is returned to his habitat and swims away.
