An ice chisel one time. We were opening old holes after a snow storm. When we were finished, my chum went to stick the chisel up in the ice and down it went--into a hole we didn't even know was there.

I almost lost myself when I was 14. Last time I've been on the ice!! Took a dive when the ice broke under my feet. Kurplunk!!

We were on a boat at Smith Mtn Lake. My friend had given me a $120 watch for Christmas the year before. Same friend gets his line around the prop.
As I unthread it my watch got hung on the prop and came loose. 45ft of water.

That stank.

I have lost an ice skimmer and the top off of a thermus down the hole. I have seen buddies lose a mag light, fishing rod and the only big one to bite

I've lost a few ice scoopers in the lake.[:'(][X(]

I just remembered this one. We drove 55 miles to this lake by snowmachine in late March for some late season specks. Of course, by then theres about 3 1/2 ft of ice. We had one of those old spoon augers that took a bit of beating on the back of the sled on the way to the lake. When we started cutting it wouldn't do diddly. So we tried sharpening with a nail and then continued to work our first hole. After about 1/2 hr of struggling and about a gallon of sweat each we just broke through the bottom of the ice. Well you know that little lip of ice you have to break cleanly off at the bottom of the hole, well, I gave it just one little exta twist and the spoon broke clean off and fluttered to the bottom. That was the end of the trip so it was pack everything back up and head home. Actually, that was the best thing that happened to that auger. We went out next day and bought a Jiffy.

I would have to say y'all lost your sanity down that auger hole. Sit out side on a sheet of ice on top of frigid freezing cold water. You guys are nuts!!!I may be alot of things but I ain't no ice fisherman!! Good luck to you all this ice fishing season.
