Did she go with her boyfriend or husband? I'm convinced that ice fishing is
what many consider the ultimate escape from their significant other. One is
crazy or desperate enough to endure the snow, ice, wind, sub zero
temperatures, sometimes dangerous ice, and utter boredom just to escape from
the other one, knowing that the other won't be so brave as to follow them
(or knowing that the other one isn't that stupid)

When they go together, it isn't ice fishing anymore, it's either called
relationship building or revenge.
