Thousands of eager anglers prepare for the best spot as the worlds largest ice fishing contest kicks off in Minnesota. More than 10,000 people will brave Baltic conditions and make the trip to Brainerd, Minnesota, US, to take part in the annual Brainerd Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza. The meeting is the biggest of its kind in the world and offers a tempting cash prize of around $150,000 to the champion. The three hour event attracts huge crowds of spectators who pile on to the two square mile competition site despite blistering temperatures of less than minus 40 degrees. [Photo/icpress.cn]
