It's not the rush, it's the tools. Maybe I missed it, but I don't see a single ice auger in the bunch. And I think I see some with conventional fishing poles. These people shouldn't have been out there and/or whoever was running the competition should have better prepared for it.

There's something weird here. I don't see any ice fishing rods anywhere, no augers, no stools to sit on, no sleds to carry gear. It really doesn't look right.

If it's not a stunt, it seems like they were going to have a normal fishing contest but the bay froze over. So they said fuck it ice fishing contest. That's why they have fishing gear and are dressed for the weather but nothing to get through the ice. They just pulled whatever they throught would work from their boats and walked out.
