Got the sled running!! Runs like a top!

Lol that bass just lost his new home 😂

I just want to say I am thankful that you are safe and are still here and you could get your stuff back this reminds me of the uncut angling video

Nice job guys on the recovery. I've been in your shoes, but with my pickup, 25' down. Glad to hear everyone is ok.

im happy for all the people involved they are safe and can fish another day !! thanks to all the first responders and the dive crew awesome work !! its nice to know someone will come save you when it all goes wrong !!

People die every year by venturing out on the ice before ensuring it is safe. You are lucky you are around to tell this story.

In the late 1960's, 2 of my cousins went through the ice on Lake Superior near Sault Saint Marie, Michigan. Unfortunately, they were lost to us forever. I'm glad everyone in this video made it out ok, but never underestimate the Great Lake they call Gitche Gumee.

Great job to Mark and all. Glad everything was recovered and nobody was hurt. Glad DNR worked with you all. Yes that was a large smallmouth lol.

Kyle brother!!! That’s wild man! So cool to see how they did it

Glad you got it out. Mark is brave man going in that cold water.

Glad your ok and got your stuff back.

REAL NICE SLED FOR SALE! I'll avoid buying one on marketplace and craigslist for awhile seeing as this happened to a lot of people this winter. Good job man! Dont try and turn the stuff on until its dry.

Really neat video. Hope you can recover a few things. Most important thing is you ok and now you can move forward. Cheers.

Nice to see a recovery team working like a well-oiled machine They made it look easy and did it without drama.

Glad you guys are safe. Will you be putting out a video on what happened? How it could have been avoided? Lessons learned? Most are not as lucky to tell the story. Thanks in advance and once again, glad you guys are safe!

Glad no one got hurt. Things can always be replaced.

I worked in a small engine shop and that was my job the second year I worked for them. I had to disassemble and clean two Polaris snowmobiles that had gone to the bottom. The sad part was the drivers drown. The family requested both sleds be repaired and sold as a fund raiser to pay funeral costs. Insurance doesn't cover snowmobiles dropped through the ice. Be cause of possible rust issues, I moved quickly to remove parts and drop those parts in a tub of WD40. WD is a water displacer. The oiler system and fuel system had to be drained and flushed. The exaust had to be drained and flushed with WD. The seats were water logged but because I did upholstery with a friend( not at the time) we sent the seats to him to have him properly dry them out. It took me a week to do each sled. There was sand and silt in both engines so They had to be cleaned really well. I got paid separately for my part because I was subbed out by the shop. They told me they couldn't have done it because they were already busy. It gave me the creeps thinking two guys died riding those machines.

Hell of a sno-cat at 1;30 "the lights were still on!! Sit'n upright and ready to roll !!""

Good video...tragic circumstances. I’m happy you got your gear back...I feel for you with everything that got recked. Prayers my friend!

An interesting video, thanks for creating and posting. I'll be interested in the follow-up, what you could get to work and what wouldn't. Glad that this didn't end tragically.

I've always liked the seat and luggage rack setup on these Cats. The 2up seat can be removed and give more room for gear. I have the 2000 Panther 440 fan and then a 2008 M8. It's nice to have an older rough fan cooled sled for when shit like this happens. Glad you got it running again though.

From V² Outdoors we are glad you are safe. Its absolutely sad to see what has happened. We are glad you had a successful recovery!

Never a good day when all of your equipment goes down under the ice. Glad your safe, love the videos

Glad you got it out Kyle!! Lets us know who getting her running goes! Happy Fishing!!!

Glad to see it worked out for you to retrieve your equipment. I'm sure someone has already mentioned it, but if not...You might think about buying a TON of rice and putting all the electronic equipment in it for at least two months to dry out. Preferably near a dry heat source. You'll be surprised how well that will work. Hopefully, you won't have to replace it that way.

Awesome video of the Recovery!!👍👍👍

Great extraction with no one getting hurt or wet Except the diver! Anything can happen in those situations. Can't wait to see the snowmobile dry out startup?

Glad you guys are ok. Few years ago the owner of Cisco's on the Chip flowage fell through and wasnt so lucky. RIP

Expensive wash haha ! Glad you got it back

Glad you got your stuff back. Hopefully that didn't hurt your pocketbook too much. Goodluck fishing and stay safe.

Hope everything works..hate that it happened but good to see the recovery process.

@1:06 of course the fish are on the structure already! Great video, glad no one got hurt.

Glad you're ok great footage

Glad you guys got it out buddy.

Wow that is really cool and scary at the same time!!!

Very surprised how many people just hanging out. I’d be worry about the ice cracking. Cool though how they got it out.

Pretty cool underwater footage! So clear it almost looks fake!

That was sweet! Keep up the vids! ❤️ Them!

Great video. It happens.

Always stored indoors and carburetor just cleaned...great ice fishing machine

Glad you got your stuff back. Hope it all works 👍😂

Congrats on getting gear back,Hopefully the electronics will work after dried out & new batteries.

awesome work guys be safe out there

Glad u got it all back I know how much money goes into that stuff

Didnt even see the smallmouth at first had to go back and watch it again. Shoulda been like "hold on give me 5 mins guys i gotta jig this hole we just cut" 😄

Love the videos and love to ice fish please keep it up

Glad everyone safe that ice can be unforgiving

I have the same sled! Great running

Hope everything works out for you I just subscribed and I have watched some of your videos and I added a like good luck in the future

Thats pretty epic

My 85 Honda Big Red floats , big advantage if you go through.

Wow... anyone's worst nightmare.. glad your ok!

Cant beleive how little ice ya got at end of January? I see JMO has a NAUTALUS on his sled and this is a great video on why everyone should have one on their sled/gear. Glad all are safe... Gear can be replaced , lives cannot.

Wow that's crazy!

Wow thank God nobody was hurt and you got the toy back

Love your vids man

Aqua Vu for the win!

This is gonna show up in my recommendations in 3 years

Man I had a rough 2020 hope 2021 is better

Did you hit a spring and why was the ice so good around the hole where you went in

The first time I visited I was in trego. I t made my mind of where i want to move too.

I lost my vexilar and drill earlier this year. Fished with the vexilar three days later. Oh my drill is toast. I had to buy a new one but I got everything else back although I was fortunate enough to not have a snowmobile on the ice that day

Please do a video testing the electrictronis and drill.

That's crazy man

I love how you can just drop a snowmobile at the bottom of a lake and leave it there for a few days and come and get it and pull a spark plug out and it's just fine

Yall should fish on the red cedar river or the st.croix by the Hudson area, lake wissota is good too

your sled is super clean

Hey buddy it will be interesting to see if you can clean all the water out of the sled & get it all dried out & all the fluids changed if it will ever run again?? I’m pretty sure I could get it to run again as long as it died or got shut down before it went under!! I’m just so glad that you & your buddy was both ok for sure!!!

good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good work getting it out. Now get it going and get on the fish again

Awesome video

Glad everyone's okay and looks like a 660

Good move dorks

Next time...You put the hummingbird in a rubbermaid with 2 bags of rice and seal the lid. 2 days and it should be dry. May not work but did for me on my 2 way radios. One of my 30 lb power supplies was under water for 12 hours. Dried it out and sprayed it with Deoxit and it was been working daily since 2016.

Is you snowmobile one of the ones that fell through on LCO

Wow haha that is crazy!

could make a lot of money recovery sleds and other vehicles up there in Hayward and Rice Lake area

You guys are crazy

Love the video sorry for wht happened to the snow mabieeos

Did ur snow machine survive?

The sleds will be fine for sure.

Most importantly, does the Vexilar work?

Just saw this pop up. Glad you got the sled running. Haven’t watched the video yet. Did you shut the engine down when it went in? Also, how was the drill? I put a dewalt impact in the lake for two years. The battery was pooched, new battery and a bit of rust or dirt flew out. Still using it 6 years later.

I’m here from Instagram you took that smallmouths home

best video ever

How much did it cost to get your stuff out?

So what was the recovery charge?

that fish said , i claim it , its mine now !!!!

How much rice did it take to dry all that out?

hahaha the fish just chillin under it

Did you goes whent in the water

I am curious if it's a dewalt 18v you use for the auger? I use the same for 200mm auger

What does a diver charge ?

That looked like it wasn't your first rodeo on a sled water recovery. ;)

Might want to mark that on GPS as a Hazzard spot.😲

Glad nobody got hurt. Brings back memories of my youth in northern Wisc.

Was this on LCO?

What’s the cost to get that out?

How much did the recovery cost?

Which lake? Nelson or hayward?
