No matter what brand you have, all of us are familiar with Forward Facing Sonar (FFS). By far the most controversial subject in freshwater fishing today. The smaller walleye world is seeing the conversations and even repercussions of FFS the Bass world has been going through for several years now. To compare anything that has come before FFS in the fishing industry is just nonsense. I remember when my Dad had the paper graph with a pencil and then upgraded to a digital screen on the counsel, or when swim baits took the fishing industry by... Full story

1 Years Ago: Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2013 "The bottom line is, do you want $200,000 in taxes a year or not?" said Valley County Commissioner Dave Reinhardt on Tuesday. At their regular meeting the commissioners were discussing the tax abatement requested by Compass Wind. The proposed wind farm south of Opheim is still in the negotiation stage with several pieces hanging in the air. The commissioners asked themselves if the project needed the abatement. St. Marie residents have been requesting and...

Smoke hung thick over Fort Peck Lake this past weekend, though whether it was wildfires or fishing rods burning up is hard to say. The top three teams in this year's Gov Cup walleye tournament brought in a combined 309.60 pounds of fish over two days. Brem Phillips and Clyde Phillips, both of Jordan, Mont., hauled in 104.32 pounds to take the $15,000 check, the championship rings, and plaques home to the south side of the lake this year. The father-son duo reeled in 52.22 pounds on day one and...

Some 65,000 ties will be...

The bipartisan weekly meeting provides an opportunity for Montanans visiting Washington D.C. to meet face-to-face with their representatives over a cup of coffee. “Hearing directly from Montanans is the most important part of my job and the best way to make sure we’re delivering results for them,” said Tester, who has been hosting Montana coffee since 2...
The Governor's Cup may not have ended up in the hands of the governor, but Montana's Greg Gianforte did become the first sitting governor to ever fish the legendary Fort Peck tournament this past weekend. "I'd like to have caught some bigger fish, but Susan and I enjoyed joining anglers, and their families, for some good fishing, good food, and even better company," Gov. Gianforte said. "It was a privilege to take part in such a special Montana tradition and put the governor back in the...

Early mornings. Long days. Short nights. Those are just a small part of what goes into putting on the annual Montana Governor's Cup Walleye Tournament. But the results are more than worth it, particularly when records are shattered. The first record fell Nov. 1, 2019 when the tournament's 200 slots were filled in one hour, one minute, the fastest that has ever happened. Fast forward to July 10 and 11 when the anglers hit the water. Last year, Adam Morehouse and Matt Poole set a new two-day...

While Glasgow Area Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture Executive Director Lisa Koski was expecting people to be camped outside their door the morning of Nov. 1, she did not expect the tournament to fill up as quickly as it did. "Unbelievable," was her description of the turnout this year. "Controlled chaos, yes that describes it." As Koski had predicted, hopeful anglers were lined up at...
It was early Friday morning, July 12, and 200 boats had filled the waters of the Fort Peck Marina waiting for their wave to get flagged out. The skies were clear and the winds were slight as the cannon sounded the official start of the tournament and a team of volunteers waved the boats on by. By the end of the weekend, all 200 boats will have landed fish, averaging over 3.5 lbs per fish, topping out with the largest walleye landed at 12.7 lbs and over 32 inches. "A ton of nice fish were...
