Began in 1947, the World's Original Ice Fishing Contest became one of the most anticipated winter events in Minnesota.  In 1948 LIFE magazine featured an arial photo of the event as Picture Of The Week captioned, "The remarkable wheel-like pattern was formed by hardy Minnesotans who spent the frosty morning of Feb. 1 at the St. Paul Winter Carnival Fishing contest...Inside the wheel are 2,196 fishermen busily set trying to catch the biggest fish."
