Glasgow natives Brenner and Jason Flaten snatched the first-place prize at the 2020 Yellowstone Challenge Catfish Tournament this past weekend. The tournament, which was founded by one of this year's champions, Jason Flaten, in 2007, takes place along the Yellowstone and is headquartered at Cowboys Bar in Huntley, Mont.
This year 51 boats took over the waters of America's longest free-flowing river to net massive cats, but only one team could become the champs. The Flatens managed a basket of 29.11 lbs just barely beating out the second place team, Glasgow natives Chad Dawson and Cole Plouffe, who netted 29 lbs even.
Brenner and Jason are no strangers to the Yellowstone Challenge podium, last year they teamed up to claim third place and the year before they were also in the number-one slot with a haul in 2018 of 36.68 lbs. Glasgow's own Cole Plouffe walked away with this year's biggest cat however, after bagging himself a 10.74 pounder.
