From tattoos to tackle, Anthony Forte is a well-experienced charter captain out of Boston and catches them "two tree at a time". Forte talks about how he got into fishing, along with his side of Cheech's white marlin story.

Chris D - US Army Special Forces- is an avid fisherman whose story bridges combat and casting lines. Chris shares how his love of striper fishing began on Cape Cod and eventually intersected with his military career, leading to his involvement with Fishing for the Mission 22—a nonprofit using fishing to support veterans with PTSD. First, Jimmy and Cheech talk about the mighty tarpon and how a trip down to Florida, even though it was striper season, paid off in an embarrassing way.

Capt. Deane Lambros of Canyon Runner Sportfishing discusses what it's like to run a high-level charter fishing operation, from making sure your crew is hydrated and healthy to ensuring the clients have a good time. Other topics include working your way up to Captain, catching more tuna, and the mindset of prioritizing the experience on the water over the catch numbers.

But first, Matt Haeffner and Jimmy Fee discuss the deadly pencil popper.
