What is all involved with this event? Do they stake off a fishing area like other ice tournaments. Some people have said you can fish where ever you want and just bring fish in.

I have always wondered how many of the perch weighed in at this event have been swimming around in Make shift livewells all week long or even longer. i use to fish it almost every year. It has been a few years now since the last time I fished it. Use to be some SUMO perch weighed in. Have not heard much about Perch this year on the lake. May be a off year for big fish – I am sure someone will find a few Jumbo’s. They always do
I had high doubt about last years winner… some gal supposedly won with the biggest perch AND she had the biggest pout…. also rumored that her boyfriend has a permanent out of a resort a few miles south of Hunters and they happened to have spent friday night on the ice in it Short of lie detectors, how do you do it ? There was alot of cheering when she won the perch…and then alot of “mumbling” in the crowd when they announced the pout and she won that too
