A 72-year-old Canadian man is accused of assaulting an ice fisherman he thought was fishing too close to him. Isn't fishing supposed to be a relaxing activity?

You'd never expect this to happen when you go out for some ice fishing. You'd expect some alone time to sit with your thoughts in silence and tranquility. Getting assaulted is probably the last thing on your mind. According to CBC, it happened at Chemong Lake near Peterborough.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
