THE STORY BEHIND BIG ICE
Danny Misse is the owner of Big Ice Trays. He is a sportsman that enjoys the outdoors with his family. He grew up in South Louisiana and enjoys surf fishing for speckled trout and redfish in the Gulf of Mexico, offshore fishing for yellowfin tuna out of Venice, Louisiana, as well as duck and goose hunting in the Louisiana rice fields.
“A few years ago, I was fed up packing multiple ice chests with bagged ice to last the weekend at the beach house on the Gulf. My idea was to make ice that would last longer than the bagged ice. Right then, I knew that the cubes would have to be large. Then the idea came together, to make a Big Ice Tray.”
Since being on the market for a few years, the range of uses for Big Ice and far-reaching purchases continue to amaze me. For instance, Sea World uses trays to make large ice cubes for enrichment for the animals, and having orders that were shipped to Australia, Canada, and Cuba. “It’s still hard for me to believe that people in Canada need ice.”

Big Ice Trays
TRAY DIMENSIONS
One tray makes six, 4-inch cubes, with each cube weighing around 1.5 pounds. 10 pounds of ice per tray.
HOW TO USE BIG ICE TRAYS
Fill to ½” from the top (allows for expansion) and place the tray in the freezer.
Cover the tray with a piece of cardboard while in the freezer. This allows the cubes to freeze in an upwards direction. Failure to do so could cause damage to the tray.
To dislodge frozen cubes, wet the bottom side of the tray with water or set the tray in water for a minute or two.
Turn the tray over on a solid surface—the cubes should fall out.
BIG ICE FOR ANY SITUATION
IN YOUR FREEZER
Don’t get left behind when the fishing forecast is a 10. Be prepared for those days by stocking up on Big Ice. Freezing a tray of ice cubes takes about 18 hours, depending on your freezer. Once frozen, remove the cubes and relocate them to your freezer, so you can make more trays of Big Ice.
WEEKEND FUN
Tired of having to run to the gas station for a bag of ice every time you want cold drinks? Pop out a few Big Ice cubes and set them in the ice chest with your drinks. To make your drinks ice-cold faster, add a little water to the ice chest.
SORE MUSCLES
Do you have sore muscles from fighting a yellow fin tuna or working out? Add a Big Ice cube into a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Wrap the bag with a thin cloth and place it on your sore muscle for 5 to 10 minutes.
ICE
BATH
When using small ice cubes for an ice bath, your ice cubes begin melting as soon as they touch your tap water. Because of the huge size of Big Ice cubes, our cube will last longer, allowing your ice bath to reach the proper temperature faster, and last longer than a bag of small ice.
ICE CHEST
OR BUCKET
Every time you use a drink dispenser for a party, the melting ice changes the drink’s taste. However, you can prevent that from happening with Big Ice. Prior to your party, fill the Big Ice trays with juice halfway. Once frozen, you can add the cubes to the juice in the dispenser.
LIVE WATER
WELL
During hot days, the bait in your live well can die quickly. Most people use store-bought ice to cool the water, but that is only a temporary fix. It also kills your bait because it changes the water’s composition. Instead, make Big Ice using the water you’re fishing in. Placing a few cubes in the live well makes the perfect ice to keep your bait active.
