Synopsis:

Ivan and Olaf are best friends with a single shared ambition to outdo each other. Whether it's chopping firewood, climbing trees, or eating pancakes for breakfast, these two just can't stop competing! And when the annual Moosehead Lake Ice Fishing Contest comes around, you can bet Ivan and Olaf are each determined to catch the biggest fish in the lake.

But the biggest fish in Moosehead Lake is also the smartest fish in Moosehead Lake. He's the legendary Methuselah, and he has no intention of being caught by the bickering buddies. Ivan and Olaf may be a well matched pair--but are they a match for Methuselah?
