I'm so glad to be able to say this was a close call, Markus, our photographer and loved friend was out fishing two days ago. It was a beautiful morning, -5 degrees Celsius and the ice seemed great. He went out fishing, but after a few hours he felt like the ice was getting bad and decided to call it quits. He put his stuff together, turned on the GoPro and started walking back home. The rest is what you see.
This time it went well, hopefully there won't be a next time. Please, be cautious out there. We are experienced on the ice and know when troubles might occur, and still end up in situations like this. Markus is strong, with a good physique and had his ice nails accessible. Many fishermen out there wouldn't stand a chance in a situation like this so don't put yourself in one.
Comments like "He should've know the ice was this bad" etc won't be appreciated. The ice wasn't bad when he went out, it went bad because of the sun and when he realized he started heading towards the shoreline. Spring is dangerous on the ice so be careful!
