It's January and the Ice Vikings confront blizzards and bone crushing cold on a lake that refuses to freeze solid. Trevor is having a terrible season with too few fish. He joins Chris at their base camp near The Narrows which leads to tension and results in personnel changes. 76-year-old Richard has several falls and injures himself. Mike and Justin's hopes of a good season have been crushed as they struggle to make quota. Most crews bring out their bombers now but Gene and Candace struggle without theirs because the ice still isn't stable enough.
