The annual ice fishing derby in Alexandria is always a huge success drawing avid sportsmen (and women) from hundreds of miles around.
It is a catch and release event so there are no trophies to be had but the prizes make the event highly competitive.
Oh, awesome. My husband's friend goes to a lot of these. He loves them. He usually brings his fish home from the ones he goes to. Best fish I've ever eaten.
my stomach is getting queasy when i see something like this. i'm pretty sure it is deemed safe but still, the idea of water right underneath that ice, oy!
