Charitable Ice Fishing Contest Wraps Up At Gull Lake

(Brainerd, MN)  —  A massive charity ice fishing contest is wrapped up at Gull Lake.  The Brainerd Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza took place over the weekend and attracted almost 12-thousand people.  The event has raised four-point-three million dollars for about 45 charities since it began in 1991.  Most of the money raised goes toward Confidence Learning Center, a nonprofit that serves people with cognitive and developmental disabilities.  Thirteen-year-old Zac Padrnos won the top prize of a Ford F150 after landing the biggest catch with a nearly nine-and-a-half pound walleye.
