Only in Minnesota: 20,000 ice fishing holes in one lake
Ice-capped Gull Lake, Minnesota, was drilled with 20,000 holes for the annual Brainerd Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza.

FISHING -- I'm guessing the photo above will never be matched at Sprague Lake or anyplace in Idaho or Washington.

Minnesotans take ice fishing seriously.

An estimated 10,000 anglers headed for Gull Lake last week for the annual $150,000 Brainerd Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza. The most impressive number is the 20,000 holes the organizers augered in advance for the contestants.

Even with power augers, that's serious dedication for what they call the "largest charitable ice fishing contest in the world."
