You bet...about 10 years ago two of us sitting 10 yards apart and we hear this deep grumble off in the distance, we are sitting on 12” of ice well the water in our ice holes went away, no water then a super loud crack, thunder sound and water spewed out of our ice holes and yup we were up on our feet figuring out which way to bolt....well what happened was a three foot ice heave was formed about 50 yards away from us or closer almost the entire length of the lake. We loaded up and buggered off as that was enough. Heard stories at work that the ice heave actually had separated anglers from their trucks/gear so had to get rides off the lake at the provincial park and back on the ice at the marina to get their trucks/ gear etc....never ever experienced that...scared the bejesus out of us.
