Throwback Thursday, Fail Video: Russian Angler vs. Power Ice Auger

We all know those do-it-yourselfers who sometimes bite off more than they can chew. Take, for example, the gentlemen featured in the video below.

It appears he’s attached the lower section of a hand ice auger to a DIY powerhead of some sort. Instead of simply buying a dependable power ice auger, he thinks he can save thousands of Russian rubles by building his own. You have to admire his moxie.

Even though the auger starts on the first pull, we think the fish are safe from this guy.
