"122 Fishermen Rescued from Stranded Ice Floe on Minnesota's Upper Red Lake"

Over 100 fishermen were rescued from a detached ice floe on Upper Red Lake in Minnesota, with no injuries reported. The Beltrami County Sheriff's Office coordinated the rescue after 122 fishermen became stranded due to the ice detachment. A bystander initially attempted to help, and four individuals fell into the water but were safely recovered. The rescue was complicated by the fact that some fishermen may not have realized they were on a detached ice floe. The incident followed warnings about unseasonably warm weather affecting ice thickness.
