What a night! 🎣 A huge thank you to our emcee, Jon Thelen's Destination-Fish, for making the fundraiser such a massive success! We appreciate the recognition you gave to the Hall of Fame Inductees, the Pros, and the Future Legends.
Jon didn’t just keep the crowd laughing and the energy high—he also brought in some incredible auction items from his sponsors that had everyone bidding like crazy! 🚤🔥 From the Humminbird electronics to the Heat Hog heaters and Cold Snap gear, the support was truly next-level.
Thank you, Jon, for your leadership and for helping us pass Minnesota's fishing legacy down to future generations. 🎣✨👏
