Largest charitable Ice fishing contest in the world
Check out the largest ice fishing contest in the world. Tens of thousands of people and 30,000 holes drilled on Gull Lake for the event. This was our first time ice fishing and what a great time we had! Everyone cheers for each other every time someone catches a fish. Its really a neat experience everyone should try once! All for a good cause too!

History of the Ice Fishing Extravaganza....
"In the early 1990s the Brainerd Jaycees had a desire to develop a signature project—a project that would rally members, raise money for local charities, and provide avenues for individual growth, personal development, and leadership. With the first contest being held in January 1991, it is certain the founders never expected this event would become the world’s largest ice fishing contest and put Brainerd, MN, on the map with a winter event that generates over $1-million in revenue for area businesses and over $150,000 for area charities annually."

Except that these events are possible only by dumping huge loads of new fish every summer. It is equivalent of dragging a net thru the lake, it is near catastrophic event to the lake ecosystem. Try finding anything more than 2 years old in there.. Stupid stupid stupid.
