Thousands Battle Wind, Cold at Brainerd Ice Fishing Contest

So ... the ice fishing contest got frozen out.

Yep, global warming!



Anglers had to battle brutal conditions in Brainerd yesterday (Saturday) for the annual Brainerd Jaycees $150,000 Ice Fishing Extravaganza.

The event was held on Gull Lake’s Hold in Day Bay. Money raised from the event goes to various charities.
