This week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast, Downrigger Dale set out to answer a big question: Can someone who has never fished in a Mack Days Lake Trout Tournament on Flathead Lake actually make some decent money their very first time? To find out, Rigger connected with Tournament Director Cindy Benson, who introduced him to two anglers—Ryker Bair and Patrick Casey—who each shared their own first-time Mack Days experiences. The result is that not only did Rigger get his answer, but he also uncovered two very different approaches to competing, plus tons of tips for anyone thinking about jumping into the tournament that’s happening right now through November 2nd.

Check out today’s sneak peek video for a taste of their stories—and don’t miss tomorrow’s sneak peek, where we’ll share even more insights that will definitely make you not want to miss the FULL episode dropping Saturday at 6AM!
