brainerd ice contest


Recommended Posts

The contest is always on! My first year it was 18 below for the high.

Get the extra face mask and hop in the car and get on up here! The fishing is great. We were on the ice tonight catching nice walleye with the Marcum guys. Listen to me on KFAN Saturday morning as well!

Congrats to your sis and to everyone else that iced a fish.

I was once again riding around picking up trash that people had or left on the ice. Its kinda fun to watch everyone trying for THE BIG ONE!

Next year I think ill give the fishing another try.

Thanks to the Jaycees for putting this on. Great time no matter how cold!!!

Does it seem like people are taking the drinking a little too far the last couple years? I was in line to go back to BIR and some guy was running around and tackled a snow fence, then right in front of a volunteer he tackles a garbage can! He made a mess. It is just sad to see someone acting like that at an event put on by volunteers.

Every year you get the drunko's.

Every year our M.I. chapter gets bashed by 1 or 2 groops of drunk guys about hating muskies and wanting to kill them all.

Taking there opinion out on us. LIKE WE CARE WHAT THEY THINK!!

It would be nice to see a alcohol free tourny but they would loose a bunch of people and a bunch of money.

So, for now we just have to deal with the ones that become idiots with alcohol.

Also,its to bad the kids out there having a good time have to see and listen to them.

First, I'd also like to thank the Jaycees for another great year! Always a good time.

I too was waiting in line to the BIR and saw the same thing! It's sad but it seems like there's always a select few who need to still act like they're freshmen in college and ruin it for the rest. His buddy wasn't any better either.

We must have all been standing near each other. My opinion is that so long as they have a sober ride home, and don't bother the other people too much...let 'em drink til it comes back up.

I just wish I had a dollar for every drunk person I saw fall down. And then there was the guy with the broken open eyebrow, nose and chin...

Had a guy in our area that was so drunk by the time the tourney started he couldn't stand. They put him in a chair and he would just fall out. After watching him lay face down on the ice for 20 minutes and walked in and got the EMT's.

It's fine to let them drink until they puke (or pass out). But vandalizing and tackling snow fences or knocking down trash cans is a whole different story. What kind of example does that set for any kids that may be watching? Thanks Jaycees, it was a great time. However, its a shame that some people don't know their limits.

I don't even understand how people could drink with the weather as cold as it was! Did everything I could just to stay warm. I gave a few drunks a ride back to their cabins on my sled after the contest and couldn't believe how drunk people actually were.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
