that reminds me of something that I read in the paper a few years ago about some ice fishermen in I think MI. Well these two guys decided that it would be easyer to just blow a hole in the ice with some TNT. so they drove out on the ice with their brand new truck, got out lit the TNT and through it. The only problem was that they brought their dog too. well the dog dcided to go retrieve it, he grabbed it, then the two guys started yelling at him to drop it, the dog got scared and went and hid under the truck well you can guess what happened.
To land one of my crappie i need a gaff and a .22 pistal :D
