Fishguts:
When all is said and done.... I'm glad you are ok. The RTV can be repaired or replaced.
If we sat on a chair and watched the mindless shows that are on TV 24/7 our brains / bodies would eventually turn to mush. But hey, we are the bold and the fearless and will (thankfully) be able to share our adventures with kinfolk and friends for a long time.
Fishguts, you showed alot of character in sharing your mis-adventure with us here on the RTV Forum. A day of hard water fishing and then going through the ice is a reminder to all of us that venture out on the frozen ponds, rivers and lakes in the wintertime. None of us or our families want to become a newsworthy event. Guess my education and the career in safety I retired from is showing through. Don't mean to preach cause thats not my style. Just be careful out there my friends.
