Official Rule
2.4 Bait Fish Size Limit
All bait fish must be 4 inches or smaller. Any bait fish longer than 4 inches will not be allowed within the contest area.

FAQ
Q: Is there a size limit on bait fish?
A: Yes. Bait fish must be 4 inches or smaller. If your bait starts looking like it could be a shark instead of a walleye, it’s too big and won’t be allowed in the contest area. Measure it first—let’s keep it fair and fun for everyone.

🥶 Did your garage door refuse to work this past

🥶 Did your garage door refuse to work this past weekend?
Yeah… we know why.

Reason #1: It was colder than a Minnesotan saying “it’s not that bad” through chattering teeth.
Reason #2: One of our traffic guys from Advantage Home Pros didn’t install your garage door 😏

Because when it’s that cold, you find out real quick who installed quality work and who… did not.

AND if you think Advantage Home Pros is just a Brainerd thing — think again!
