Ice Fishing teams from around the globe are getting ready to prove they deserve the title of "The World's Best".
The World Ice Fishing Championship is in Rhinelander this weekend.
This is just the second year the United States has sent a National team to the championship. Last year, Team USA had a team at the championship in Poland, but they came in last out of the 11 countries.
This year, Team USA's coach, who's originally from Poland but now lives in Wisconsin, says the team has home ice advantage and is much better prepared.
"We're going to fight, we got good guys and well see. I always say in this type of tournament 30% is luck. You have to see the fish, but we have good chances," says Coach Greg Wilczynski.
The U.S. team is made up of 6 guys. Two are from Wisconsin, two are from Illinois and two are from Michigan.
Last year, the Ukraine, Latvia and Russia were the top 3 teams.
