I could never understand why anyone would take an expensive truck onto the ice.

Hey Fred, it's a nice warm day, there is about 4 inches of water on top of the ice and it's been 55 degrees the past 4 days, let's take the truck out on the ice.

Props to that dodge owner for not having his mirrors flipped out for the ghost trailer lol

If this were a Toyota.....the title would be “Return of the Frozen Tundra”. Nice video and Thanks for sharing...

Guess he doesn’t have to worry about getting the rusty rear fenders fixed. That’s a common issue. 😁

Thanks for videotaping this. Great to see how you do this.

While the dive team was down there they should have swam over and set some tip ups off at them Fishermen behind them lol

Don't have ice fishing where I live. I cant wrap my head around driving a truck on a frozen lake.

Incredible video! Great job guys! 👍

One of the best examples of natural selection I've seen for a while I think :-)

You guys did a great job, how ever you work way to hard, I worked a good number of these situations with a company that uses a lifting unit on two large platoons center over the vehicle drop four cable hook one to each wheel lift high enough to clear the ice and skid the complete system off the ice, in open water the rig can actually float every thing all accomplished with 3 people.

Wow Eddie that was great what a chance you an others take great job to all . Great video!

No huge loss, it's a Dodge.

Great video those were some slabs of a bluegill! Those were some nice ones! I know! The GoPros don't last any time at all. I get maybe 40 minutes out of mine. I never been ice fishing. I haven't had the chance to but I can't deal with the cold. 😂 I'm used to Alabama weather

So what's the daily bag limit on trucks these days?

How much ice was there when the truck went in? Looks like barely enough for an atv to me, 6-8”?

How fast we're they going in the truck when it went down?

Subbed I love stuff like this. The jobs no one thinks of

Truck for sale in mint conditions just had interior washed...

Wow I was freezing just watching you guys. Great job!

Fishing and diving are open water pursuits. All this for a half full pail of 9 inch perch?

When I was a teenager in the late 50's, my brother and I got caught on an ice flow in Lake Erie. While we were able to swim back to the shore, many ice shanty's, vehicles and gear were lost on the ice as the large ice ob probably ten miles square, broke up. Many folks were rescued off the ice with helicopters and boats.

AWESOME video!!! Whew! Thank you so much for sharing this. I couldn't imagine how this truck could be rescued, but now I know lol

All that ground over there and these guys try to park in water. Brilliant.

Anyone know How much it can cost to get a truck out of ice like this ??

That tow truck operator is working in short sleeves like it is in the middle of summer

Those dings can be buffed out. No big deal.

my testis shrank when you guys jumped in.

The front end looks like he was driving when he hit the submerge button

Hi from South -Western ontario Canada I love hard water fishing and experienced the same as pictured on a few years of this sport. in my case it was caused by hitting a spot on the ice sheet caused by leaking gas wells underwater from the surface about 2 feet in diameter that you cannot see travelling at 5 -6 mph on 16 to 24 inches of ice. but with little body damage just had to dry it out and change fluids. and spend 24 to 36 hours of hauling gear and working in a T shirt to keep from sweating too much.Too Much Fun!!!!!!! Now a days I use a good used Ski Doo Tundra wide track wit a 550 fan cooled machine studded track with low gear intact.i can climb the ice ridges with a floater Arctic Jacket. and gps.

Total cost of recovery? And total damage? = complete loss?

Cutting the ice hole reminds me of the movie 4 Brothers.

I see what could be a major design flaw in that ice cutting saw: is there anything to stop the blade from rotating around behind the sled and getting the operators legs?

Despite all the 7's on the back of the truck, that truck had no luck!

I can't believe someone stole his radio while it was underwater. Holy tomatoes!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What would a recovery like this cost the truck owner ?

I live in Wisconsin this happens too much.The state charges you every day it's in the water.Think like $2500.Plus that truck is junk.Have to pay those guys also.Can't be cheap. I always walk out when ice fishing.Can't afford this.

Thanks for the video! I always wondered how people did this!

Hi....is the Jake from State Farm? Thanks for that great rate. I need to discuss the Dodge Cummins recently added to my policy. Was wondering if I purchased the Stupidity Rider?

This is so cool. I saw the same thing on a Mike Rowe Dirty Jobs episode years ago. I love ice fishing but it's just crazy to drive a vehicle out there I live in Michigan so it's not in the normal thing of that people do to drive out on the ice.

God bless you for your hard work

How much does a salvage operation like that cost

On the bright side, he can reuse the tires and rims...LOL!!!

When the ice stayed breaking down under my truck I just got in it and luckily I was able to slowly drive it off the ice

It always amazes me ,what people get themselves into for a fish.Im not saying don't fish.Im saying you need to know when enough is enough.

I guess it just couldn't Dodge sinking!😂

How much does it cost to salvage a vehicle this way?

Anybody know how much that salvage cost ?

If there is no hazard to navigation and not leaking oil,why not leave it until summer??

What did it cost to get the truck out?? Thanks

That ice looked so thin to be driving on. 6" ish?

Nice work ED

I think everyone involved in this has to be a little bit crazy. Fun to watch from my cozy living room though!

I feel bad for you falling through with that little tonka truck. I just took a 110,000lb load across the lake with a Kenworth T800 on Monday. Know your ice guys.

I'm curious how much would all that cost a person ? Thats pretty thin ice to be driving on ! Don't people check the thickness before going out ...

That guys going to be paying a hefty penny in fines

Question. When cutting the ice, does it dull the blade as it does when cutting logs?

How get so much body damage just for sunkin in water ?

Ice doesn't even look thick near shore let alone out in the middle. Common sense must not play a part in this guy's life decisions 😂😂

Interesting - was it worth it, how much did it cost

Hey, you're scaring the fish!

Why so big a sinker lol

How much for the wheels and tires

I smell a rebuilt title in the works...

Very Cool Job of salvaging that truck

Forsale: $29,000 firm. Runs great no low balls he knows what he has. Needs oil change

Just another reason to install a snorkel on your truck, 'cause you don't know how deep the next pothole 's gonna be.

Still had nice wheels!

Hello Jake from state farm say I hit a fish the other day am I covered

Thanks for your hard and dangerous work to keep this hazards out of the water. Bet the owner dosent do this again

Best video ever .

So did you cut a channel all the way back to the boat launch from 2 miles out?

That truck was like new before these guys got ahold of it

What was the cost for this recovery ?

It's a Dodge, it rusted out before it even hit the lake bottom

Was it this truck‘s onwer drove this truck just like sherp?

What cost of this underwater recovery Bill ????

Oh hell no. I fell through the ice once. Never again. And you guys driving trucks 2 miles out!

I've watched vehicle recoveries where they constructed a boom over the hole and set the vehicle back on the ice and towed the vehicle back to shore. There was no body damage but to recover a vehicle that way the ice would have to be at least 12 inches thick .

One less Dodge on the road isn’t a bad thing.

Is all this covered by insurance?

THAT QUALITY!!!!!

5" of ice and a 8000lb truck.......lol....some geniuses out there

Right at 3:16 you see an oil slick pop up in the water. Certainly an indication that some kind of vehicle or machine is right below. I don't know....maybe this comes from being born and raised in Miami but I would not feel comfortable driving a truck out on a frozen body of water. I know people do it all the time and I guess every so often they hit a thin spot in the ice and lose their trucks. My cousin was also born and raised in Miami. He has lived in Minnesota for the last 10 years and he does the ice fishing thing. They tow big camper trailers out on the ice so they can stay out there with all the comforts of home. His trailer is one of those ones that have retracting wheels so the trailer lays flat on the ice. They there are holes in the floor of the trailer so they can fish in the warmth of the trailer. Heat, satellite TV, bathroom, etc. But no need for a cooler...just put the cold stuff outside. LOL. I don't know how he does it.

This is super cool

I'm missing something here. Why is there so much damage on the truck for falling thru the ice in the middle of the lake?

That cummins shipping container is in rough shape

How much does a recovery like this cost? Do you have environmental fines for the contamination?

I will never put my so loved pick-up in this kind of trouble...😄

That sucks well your rims still look good

Truck looks terrible, we’re they goin 90 mph when they went thru?

Y'all caught a nice megalodon cab. There rare!

Using a truck lure is overkill. All you need is a five and diamond😂

Could that Truck be fixed? Better question is it worth to be fixed. I was always told the second you pull on to the ice your car insurance stops.

This was an “off road” truck though?

Ever have a freak out moment like some giant water monster is just watching you ?

I’m watching this while I’m about to go drive out to my ice castl that’s a mile and a half out on the lake in Central Minnesota. There is 20” of Ice right now so I have no worries. Some however go out with only 10 inches. I need 15” minimum to drive out.

truck fishing is better than desk riding!

Looks like a lot of effort with the air bags check out sunk n dive out of Oshkosh they do it way quicker with chains and a ganrty

Let’s take the heaviest pickup made on the ice... what could go wrong ?
