Body of Wisconsin man recovered from lake, reportedly fell through ice while fishing
HAMMEL, Wis. (WFRV) – A 69-year-old Wisconsin man’s body was recovered from a lake after he was reported missing by his wife, who said he hadn’t returned home from an ice fishing trip.
According to the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office, the 911 call came in around 4:17 p.m. on Friday from a caller who was reporting that her husband was ice fishing on the Washington Flowage near their home in Hammel, but he had not yet returned and may have fallen through the ice.
Taylor County Deputies and several other agencies were sent to the scene, where they found a single sled trail leading to an open spot on the ice where a sled was found.
Bruce’s Legacy and Wings of Hope, a pair of non-profits specializing in open water searches, were called to the scene along with the Marathon County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team for search and rescue efforts.
Officials later found the 69-year-old man, identified as Randall Runge of Medford, dead inside the lake, with no indication of foul play.
An investigation is ongoing.

What to do during a flood warning
- If advised to evacuate, do so immediately.
- Use a battery-operated radio or television to get the latest emergency information.
- Do not walk through floodwater. Just six inches of floodwater can sweep you off your feet if it is moving swiftly.
- Turn around, don’t drown; do not drive into a flooded street. Cars can be swept away by two feet of moving water or there may be unseen damage to the road. If you come to a flooded area turn around and go another way. Most flood-related deaths are caused by people driving through water.
- Watch out for fire hazards.
- Move to higher ground.
- Stay alert, turn weather notifications on.
- Do not allow children to play in flowing water. Waters can hide rocks, trees and debris.

A troubling trend for the Wisconsin football continues when it comes to the NFL Draft.
In the past, it was common for Wisconsin football players to be taken early and often over the three days of the draft, but recently, the number of Badgers being taken is dwindling. And when they are, they have been late Day 3 picks.
This year the program hit rock bottom. Not one Badger got drafted in 257 selections, the first time since 1978. There was a thought that maybe a few Badgers would be picked late, but they all went undrafted.
But that doesn’t mean those players football dream is over.
As soon as that last pick is announced, players are agreeing to sign on with teams as undrafted free agents (UDFAs). As was the case with many other former Wisconsin Badgers, these players will have a shot to make an NFL roster in 2026 the hard way.
Here is where every Badger landed as an undrafted rookie after the NFL Draft was completed.
