Dangerous slabs of ice aren’t just for college kids – ice fisherman like them too! From the Star Tribune …

• A fisherman floating on a Lake Winnebago ice slab refused to be rescued, telling authorities he wanted to stay because the fish were biting.
• Winnebago County sheriff's officials say Joseph Dake used a ladder across open water to get to the ice slab, about a quarter mile from shore.
• Lt. John Zimmerman says the slab was connected to ice that led to shore, but a large crack had formed.

Thank god Wisconsin’s policemen are on the lookout for suspicious cracks.
