ice fishing

Twice a year the state of Michigan has free fishing weekends where you don't need a license to fish.

Oopsie. This ice fisherman was missing one crucial thing... Well, two if you count driving sober.

Both were saved with one going to the hospital for cold water exposure.

Lesson learned from this: snowmobilers aren’t ice experts.

Some people look for heat when Michigan's cold winters hit. Ice fishermen are a little different. Whether you are experienced at ice fishing or have never tried it, you are welcome to enjoy the cold during Michigan's annual free ice fishing weekend this February.

A West Michigan man decided to pop the question in a very Michigan way-- while ice fishing. Fox 17 reports that Andrew Stimson took his girlfriend Alicia Redding out on Sunday, for some Valentine's Day ice fishing.

With Lake Superior being the biggest freshwater lake in the world, it would stand to reason some big fish live in the waters of old Gitche Gumee. Even then, these fishermen were surprised by their catch.

Get ready for another way to enjoy winter in West Michigan.
