Ice Anglers Reflect on Their Adventure on Lake of the Woods

A group of American ice anglers rescued off a giant ice floe on Lake of the Woods celebrated the adventure by frying up its catch of the day and kicking back with beers.

Tracy Sobush, one of the 13 men from Wisconsin, says they didn't factor in the wind would loosen a piece of the ice near Birch Point on the Manitoba side of Lake of the Woods.

More than a dozen rescue workers and firefighters were called out and a special airboat was brought in. to help rescue the men.
