Virtual ice fishing learning sessions on tap over the coming weeks

During the Fargo Ice Fishing Show, which opens Friday, Dec. 10, and continues through Sunday, Dec. 12, all of the show seminars will be available virtually on Facebook Live, in addition to in-person at Scheels Arena in Fargo. And ice fishing celebrity Brian "Bro" Brosdahl is offering his virtual "Bro Road Show" Tuesday night ice fishing sessions on Facebook Live through December.

Tim Feekes holds a 14.25 inch tulibee he caught as Rachael Feekes takes his picture to enter the virtual ice fishing contest Saturday, Jan. 30, on Hole-in-the-Day Bay for the Brainerd Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza. Although the event took place all over Minnesota some anglers still chose Hole-in-the-Day Bay as their fishing spot. When a fish was caught two photos needed to be uploaded, a photo of the angler and their fish and a photo of the fish on a measuring board, to the FishDonkey app. Kelly Humphrey / Brainerd Dispatch

Nolan Sprengeler, left, of Plymouth, Minn., and Kevin Kray of Otsego, Minn., hold potential state-record muskie shortly after Sprengeler caught it around 9 p.m. Monday, Nov. 22, on Lake Mille Lacs. The 57.75-inch fish, which died despite attempts to revive it, weighed 55 pounds, 14.8 ounces on a certified scale, and appears likely to unseat the current state record of 54 pounds, set in 1957.
