This week, guide Marty Yi eats a $26 potato after surviving an earthquake in steelhead country, we lose the Zippo of a lifetime because we refuse to stand up in the boat, buy a few clowned-up Dollies at the northernmost J.C. Penny, and open a remote lodge in a land with no Wendy's.

This week, Zach "Hammer" Miller double hauls his way into a Karen altercation on the Jersey Turnpike, we trade a case of beer for stripers by the garbage dump, chase toothy sweetwater fish with totally clear sinuses, and take the edge off missing the cows with some salami snacks.

This week, Captain Zach Flake and Mike Carr fail to lock a Temu Boga grip on the lips of a lifetime striper, we chew some putrid fat while snapping our brand new fly rods, spend a New York minute avoiding serious hand injuries, and hunt glide bait carp in a sea of forever chemicals.

This week, Jimmy Fee slugs a gallon of chorizo grease and watches close friends wrangle blackfish of lifetimes, we stem the flow of blood by applying crab guts to the wound, give the worst rod to the group member that doesn't know good tackle anyway, and settle for just enough tuna scraps to top a frozen bar pie.

This week, C&R listeners share their tales of alien probings and night nurses from hell, we'll betray our grandmas by divulging a grim family fishing secret, fend off a beast lurking in the golf course fog, use human flesh to bait in a pond stalker, and get terminated by cow-mutilating lasers.

This week, "On The Run" author Dave DiBenedetto watches "Cops" before skishing for gator bluefish, we challenge pollock-hungry firemen to a cigarette smoking contest, put our moms on the "tarpon with strangers" diet, and add a little tuna to the striper sniper's lure bag.

This week, Miles Nolte tries upside down slow-pitch jigging in front of a moving battle ship, we convince a fan we love pumpkin spice and actually know his name, hammer sand bass next to a belly boat legend, and eat corvina ceviche while watching "Kids In The Hall."

This week, Joe and Miles Nolte team up with the legendary Conway Bowman to hunt for makos in the dolphin killing fields, we scold Kurt Cobain for spitting in our beer, tell you why you should never order jungle short ribs in Thailand, and do weird tourist stuff on the beach in front of War Child.
