Behind the Scenes of the Most Unique Fishing Tournament in the World!

In this episode of the Montana Outdoor Podcast we take you behind the scenes of likely the most unique fishing tournament in the world! The Captain and Downrigger spent some fascinating time with Cindy Benson and Barry Hansen of Mack Days and boy did they learn a lot! They learned about a very special and rare fish to the Salish Kootenai Tribe that, thanks to the tournament and those that compete in it, is making comeback! You will also hear about a few fish that are lurking in the depths of Flathead Lake that are worth up to $10,000 if you catch them!! Yeah we told you this was unique. How is it that a fishing tournament could restore a legendary fish to an even more legendary lake? How could a fish pay you that kind of money? Well, you will have to listen to this fascinating podcast to find out!
