Info from Licensor: "My husband and I were out ice fishing on Lake Plantagenet (Bemidji, MN) and I had just caught a small pike and was putting it back in the water when I heard my husband scream. He said a “mouse” had swam up his ice hole and I just laughed at him, not believing him because never in a million years would that ever happen! But sure enough, that “mouse” ended up swimming to my ice hole which is when I was able to snag a few different videos! That’s when we found out that it was not in fact a mouse, but a muskrat! The little critter continued to swim back and forth amongst all 4 of our ice holes and no fish (or muskrat) was caught the rest of the day!"
