MINNEAPOLIS (WHDH) — The hosts of the Super Bowl showdown want fans to try fishing for fun while they’re in town, so 7News sports reporter Chelsi McDonald grabbed a fishing pole and gave it a shot.
Ice fishing is a popular winter sport in the Land of 10,000 lakes.
McDonald headed out to Lake Minnetonka, with some seasoned ice fishers who showed her the ropes.
First, you have to drill a hole into the lake, which had ice roughly 20-inches thick.
Then, you wait patiently with your fishing line down the hole in hopes that you get a bite.
McDonald braced the elements on the open lake and ice fished in a special trailer.
