93. Blue Marlin or Bust with Capt. Chris Donato
In this episode of the On The Water Podcast, we dive deep into the pursuit of some of the biggest game fish in the ocean. From finding the right water and reading currents to getting a blue marlin to eat a lure, there are countless variables between spotting a fish and getting it to the boat.Our guest breaks down why the hunt for blue marlin over 500 pounds is so rewarding, the challenges of lure fishing, bait-and-switch tactics, sonar, and why even the perfect presentation doesn't guarantee a hookup. We also talk about some of the world's most remarkable blue marlin fisheries, including Kona, Guatemala, Cape Verde, Mozambique, the Azores, Brazil's Royal Charlotte Bank, and the Galápagos.And then there are the moments you simply can't plan for—including a 600-plus-pound blue marlin launching out of the water and smashing into the side window of the boat.No hype. No shortcuts. Just real conversations about fishing, boating, and what it takes to do it right.Subscribe to On The Water for more fishing and boating content.#BlueMarlin #MarlinFishing #OffshoreFishing #BigGameFishing #FishingPodcast #OnTheWater

92. Squid Hounds The Craziest Striper Blitz of 2026
A once-in-a-lifetime striped bass blitz unfolded in the Cape Cod Canal when an incredible concentration of shortfin squid moved into the area.Jimmy Fee, Alex Blackwell, and Matt Haeffner break down the entire event—from the mysterious squid beachings and the first reports of giant stripers eating squid, to racing down the canal, finding massive schools of squid, and watching 40- and 50-inch stripers absolutely annihilate them.They discuss what made this bait event so unusual, how the fish were feeding, why traditional squid-pattern plugs struggled, the soft plastics that produced, and how structure, current, and positioning made all the difference.The crew also dives into the history of these squid events, the famous “squid hound” nickname for striped bass, and why this particular squid run could have implications beyond the Cape Cod Canal.
