Wolf Pack trailer with some of the Jiffy Equipment already unloaded for the participants.


One lucky person won this Ice Fishing House! All the creature comforts you can think off, plus removable ports so you can drill holes and fish in complete comfort!


The Wolf Pack brought out the new Frabill Glide Trax to be tested in the extreme temps and winds -- folks got to see all the creature comforts!

Prior to the start of the tourney, participants can go select their holes and get their equipment ready.


Once their spots are selected, they ALL have to wait across a plowed boundary on the perimeter of the fishing area....and wait for the "GO!"


It was COLD! Here Pat uses the chipper end of a Jiffy ice skimmer to get chop the ice out of his hole.


These year's tickets sold were up over 500 from last year! Between 2900-3000 attendees hit the ice!


As you can see, despite the well below zero temperatures, LOTS of people participated in this very popular fishing tournament!

Mike had first place for a while!


Mike Scharl -- (Wolf Pack team member) entered the tournament on his own and took 5th place for $5,000! He was using a Frabill rod!!!! We're proud of Mike -- he's been with us since the beginning of Wolf Pack Adventures!

Jason & Tracy Swartz the Tournament organizers!


4400 holes were drilled in 1hr, 35 mins. with 20 Jiffy Stealth Drills (one hole every 15 seconds) without a malfunction our hats are off to those boys at Jiffy !


When you think about it, that is some serious prize power! Just looking at it makes me remember the days of looking at the "toys r us" catalogue when I was a kid...except here, you just have to catch a fish to get something!


Pelican Lake Ice Fishing Tourney! If you didn't go this year, you gotta go next year! It's a blast and they have TOP-NOTCH prizes!
