Montana Boys on the Hunt for a Dirty 30
Verl and Tom made the trek from Montana to chase the dream—a Columbia River Dirty 30.

Today was day one of the hunt, and while the eater bite has been absolutely on fire, these guys came out looking for those big girls—the kind you catch, admire, and release. We spent the day pulling crankbaits, covering water, and waiting for that one big bite to turn the tide.

We didn’t find the 30 today, but we did land some solid fish, including a gorgeous 27″ walleye that gave us a glimpse of what’s possible out here.

With another day ahead, we’re going to change up the game plan and get back after it. That Dirty 30 is out there—we’re just getting started.
