A snowmobile crashed through a couple’s ice fishing house over the weekend on Lake Minnetonka. As authorities look for the culprit, the ice anglers have a word of warning for others out on the lakes.
Peter Kissinger enjoys ice fishing once or twice a week, but when his girlfriend Samantha Hoch joined him for only her second time last week, they had a close call that has them both still reeling. |

"It's still shocking," said Kissinger. "We just keep thinking about it and how lucky we were."
Kissinger had just set up his portable fish house on Wayzata Bay around 6 p.m. Friday night. Hoch was sitting in a chair inside while Kissinger went outside to set up a portable fishing pole. He then saw a pair of snowmobiles in the distance speeding right towards them and knew something was wrong.
"I screamed and waved my hands and started running that way," said Kissinger. "The next moment the house was gone. The snowmobile had just smashed right into it." |
