There's no ice fishing in Mansfield, Texas. That hasn't seemed to impact Minnesota linebacker Everett Williams' ice fishing abilities.

The Texas native and Minnesota freshman linebacker has taken to the frigid sport, to the point that he referred to himself as a "the fish whisperer" in a recent tweet.

Williams and teammates joined linebacker coach Mike Sherels, who played for the Gophers from 2003-07, for a recent ice fishing and team bonding event.
