Saw that picture, ifish says 10 inches as of 2 days ago so might have had 12+ inches.
That is why I always wait for conservative ice. All it takes is a bad spot and your hooped. Pressure ridges are always dangerous even in thick ice, buddy shouldn't have attempted that crossing.
We almost lost a quad in what must have been an invisible pressure ridge last year. The surface looked the same as the rest of the lake but when we drove over it top bit broke and ended up in over a foot of water and had to work hard to get out.
It was quite the eye opener because there were literally no signs of it being a bad ice spot and if we had been in a vehicle could have been in big trouble.
