Ice fishing in brutal cold isn’t always fun… but sometimes it’s worth it. 🥶🎣
Brian, Dustin and I headed out in absolutely bitter cold conditions to see if we could still find some fish. It wasn’t an ice report — just a real-world fishing trip in tough weather.

• White bass and perch action
• The reality of tough winter conditions
• Why ice fishermen are a little bit crazy
