South Korea's annual ice fishing festival drew massive crowds of people on Saturday, Jan. 5, who braved below freezing temperatures to catch trout in a frozen lake. About 141,500 people attended the first day of the festival, where they spent time on the frozen lake to catch fish through a small hole drilled into thick ice.
