A Wisconsin man and ice fisherman tried to be the first on the lake to secure his spot for the season, but the only problem he faced was that the lake wasn't frozen yet.

According to reports from the Barron County Sheriff’s Office, a man really wanted to get his fishing shack onto the "ice" but ended up just getting an Operating While Intoxicating charge. In fact, officials report that this was the guy's third OWI incident of the night.

The driver was reportedly uninjured and officials immediately determined that alcohol was a factor in the incident.
