Setting the Benchmark

Captain Chris Donato is the owner and operator of the 37' Merritt by the name of Benchmark based out of kona Hawaii. Chris not only runs his own charter boat business in Hawaii, but also owns and operates a world class surf resort in Samoa. Chris tells us the tale of how an unlikely surf trip at a young age forever changed this East coast boys course in life. We spend a lot of our time talking about Samoas large marlin and surf. Chris tells us about not only breaking the Samoa record for largest marlin every caught not just once, but twice! The second time with Samoas first grander marlin. A record that still stands present day. Chris is a mans man and someone I'm proud to call my friend. This was a shorter then normal podcast, but I'm sure we'll be having him back on the show in the future

Come have a listen as we follow Will's incredible life from living on a light house to traveling to Vietnam on a ammunition ship during the height of the war.

The thing I really took away from looking at Will's photo albums after the podcast is that despite the recording going over 3 hours, it probably wouldn't have gotten boring even after 3 days. #fishing #offshore #tunafishing #sportfishing #seafood #hawaii #marlin #marlinfishing #angling #deepseafishing #worldtravel #adventure #memoir

Further Down The Stream

This is the first published Youtube live stream from my channel Kentonocean along with an additional 25 mins of side ranting about life and my thoughts on tuna handling. Today's guest is Jerry Gillgren a Hilo Hawaii based commercial fisherman who originally hails from California. Jerry is a wealth of Knowledge on many subjects, but particularly audio and visual. Jerry has been instrumental in helping improve the overall audio experience and is a key reason I'll be able to expand and improve my content both on this podcast in via YouTube. Jerry is a very well spoken guest and I think you'll appreciate his honesty about the difficulties that often face charter and commercial fisherman. As well as anyone who enters into a new field or business.

Salty Dreams Of Crabs

The European Green Crab is a troublesome invasive species, that was brought to the United States via the ballast water of shipping vessels. The Green Crab population has become an increasing problem in many areas. Not only causing devastation to many native species such as soft shell clams, but also causing environmental damage such as erosion with their aggressive burrowing. I first met @thatsaltyblonde_ @thevikingdiver and @hybridfishingnhunting in the parking lot of the Hampton River Boat Club in Hampton, New Hampshire. Mere steps from where I painted my first boat bottom nearly 27 years before. A lot has changed around Hampton since I was a teenager, but the biggest change I was interested in witnessing was the Green Crab fishery that has emerged since the time I've been gone. This threesome was more then accommodating taking the children and I aboard their vessel. I felt very honored that they let me witness the inner workings of their fishery. If the invite on the boat wasn't enough they took us in for dinner like family. An absolute great group of people. I invite you to listen for yourself about the fishery and this great cast of characters on the latest Vicious Cycle: Whiskey, Women and Water podcast. Learn all about this fishery, hear about @thevikingdiver favorite bar, about the secretive @hybridfishingnhunting behind the camera and why despite your wild fantasies @thatsaltyblonde_ won't be viewing your unsolicited dick pic you sent her. I really enjoyed my time with these guys and I'm sure you will to. Delve deeper then what you think you know about people by judging a picture. This team is the real deal. #fisherman #fisherwoman #fisherwomen #crabber #crab #crabs #crablegs #crabfishing #green #greencrabs #fish #fishing #deadliestcatch #harvest #grundens #grundensusa #ocean #sustainability #invasivespecies #bait #workflow #dowhatyoulove #newengland #seafood #freshcatch #fishingpodcast #podcast #viciouscyclepodcast #newepisode #newepisodealert

Allwood The Aussie

Young, passionate, hard working and enthusiastic are just a few words I'd use to describe my friend Joshua Allwood. I'd also use the terms dumpster fire and train smash. Over the years my home has become a living reality show, housing rogue fisherman from all around the globe. This young Australian is one of the those characters. On this podcast we hear about how Josh became a full time long line fisherman at the mere age of 15. We discuss his unforeseen transition from commercial fishing into sport fishing following a family holiday in Hawaii. I also shamed him into telling an incredibly embarrassing story that happened while back packing in Panama. The story involves a confusion over what was meant by a gentleman's invitation for Josh to "come over for a drink" and that same man's penis. All ribbing aside Josh truly is a passionate and hard working fisherman. I find his passion for both commercial and sport fishing contagious and I think you will to. #sportfishing #biggame #biggamefishing #marlinfishing #marlin #tuna #sharks #sustainablefishing #seafood #life #blackmarlin #cairns #australia #travel #fish #fishing #outdoors #viciouscycle

The Pride Of Indiana

Jared Jeffries once called the pride of Indiana. Is a former Big Ten player of the year and an 11 season NBA veteran. On this podcast you'll come to find Jared is not only a karaoke bar all star but a true hardcore fisherman. Jared is the host of the show Modern Fishing With Jared Jeffries and an all around great guy. At moments in this interview it was hard to remember I was talking to someone who played professional basketball for over a decade and not someone who was a professional fisherman during that time frame. Jared talks the talk and walks the walk on and off the court. What I loved about this interview was how down to earth and honest Jared was about both playing professional basketball and fishing. Jared is definitely the kind of guy you would want to go fishing with and that's probably the reason his good friend and fishing buddy is no other then Michael Jordan. In this podcast we hear about just a few of Jared's numerous amazing fishing adventures and fishing with MJ. If you like basketball or sport fishing your not going to want to miss this podcast. Jared leaves us with inspiring words both for future fisherman and other future basket ball players. He connects the dedication it takes to be a professional athlete and top tier fisherman. I'm not going to lie I loved doing this interview. #nba #fishing #jaredjeffries #professionalbasketball #basketball #basketballplayer #sportfishing #biggamefishing #mj #michealjordan

Mike Hennessy is a world renown globe trotting fly fishing guide, surfer, big game fisherman and our latest guest on the Vicious Cycle: Whiskey, Women and Water podcast. On this episode we talk about the incredible fishing at Namotu Island Resort, a fishing and surfing resort Mike is currently managing down in Fiji. The resort has a plethora of fishing and surfing options from tackle busting Giant Trevally in the shallows to wide open yellowfin tuna action just off the near by ledge. The resort offers family friendly waves at its door step and is located only one mile away from the infamous surf break Cloud Break. We discuss the value of changing up techniques and Fluorocarbon fishing line. To top it all off Mike tells us arguably the greatest fishing story I've ever heard before running out the door to go fishing. If you love fishing your going to love this episode.

On our latest episode we catch up with Trav Myking captain of the Honolulu based pelagic long liner the Maria M. I was lucky enough to snag Trav for about a half hour before he had to rush off to see a girl. As I write this bruddah Trav is steaming offshore to do what he loves, go fishing. Trav was born and raised into the local Hawaiian fishing industry. Hear about Trav's early days aboard his family's boat and the summers he spent in the far reaches of the North West Hawaiian islands catching lobsters. Trav talks about his beloved Hawaiian tuna industry and the foreign caught product in our stores he despises. I wish he had more time to talk, but I felt very fortunate to be able to nail him down for a least a quick interview. Trav like many of my guest is not only a great fisherman but a even better person. #fishing #fish #food #cheflife #healthyliving #seafood #sushi #dowhatyoulove

Vicious Cycle: Whiskey, Women And Water

I first met Diamond Dave while he was working the deck of different game boats in Kona. Dave had recently moved to the Big Island from Maui in pursuit of his dreams of capturing large marlin. Although you could catch large marlin off Maui, the frequency of it is few and far between compared to the same effort spent off the Kona coast. Diamond Dave was seventeen years my elder. He had salt-and- pepper hair and vaguely resembled a slightly overweight Brett Favre. He spoke in a heavy, drawn-out California accent that followed him from being raised in the San Fernando Valley. He called North Hollywood his home. He spoke loudly, yet humbly. He spoke simply, but full heartedly. He inherited his nickname from a skipper named Skillet with whom he had worked in Maui. The name referenced that some days the Diamond shines and some days the Diamond does not. The Diamond is a simple man with a fifteen-pound heart. He wears his emotions on his sleeve and leaves himself vulnerable to people who take advantage of kindness. He has simple thoughts about what’s right and wrong and often gets hurt by people who don’t have the same morals he maintains. He is generous to a fault. On the same level, he routinely makes himself his own worst enemy with certain dealings. You will also find how truly beautiful he is in cut and dry simplicity. I really enjoyed this podcast, Diamond Dave is humble and honest. Listen to Diamonds tales of big fish, sobriety and honoring Kona traditions. I think anyone who listens to this podcast will understand why I love this guy. #fishing #marlin #diamonddave #fish #hawaii #hawaiifishing #tuna #sportfishing #flyfishing #biggame #hunting

William Goldsmith known for the better part of his life as "Willy Goldfish" is now all grown up. I first met Willy when he was a 14 year old patron aboard the charter boat Bunny Clark out of Oguinquit Maine. When I first met Willy he hadn't quite grown into his body yet. He was goofy, inquisitive, well spoken, sharp witted and above all passionate about fishing. Willy still possesses all of those traits except he undoubtedly has come into his own. Willy is smart, well traveled and extremely knowledgeable about the fisheries. Willy is a Harvard graduate and holds a PhD. Willy has worked on capital hill, run a satellite tagging program for Bluefin Tuna on the East Coast and satellite tagged White Marlin. Willy is a passionate angler who can almost always be found fishing when he's not working on fishery related issues. Willy was even a deckhand for a couple trips on the Vicious Cycle many years ago who brought recreational fishing gear on the boat that forever changed the way we do business to this day. Willy is the current director of the American Saltwater Guide Association (ASGA) where he is currently placing all his effort on Striped Bass related issues. I learned a lot from this episode including the fact that recreational anglers are responsible for 90 percent of all Striped Bass Mortality on the East Coast. I would have never guessed that. It won't take long listening to realize Willy is highly intelligent, knowledgeable, accountable and passionate about fishing. Willy tried to weasel out of a few of my direct fishery and fishery management questions but over all he takes them all on the chin and rebuttals with common sense answers. I really enjoyed this interview, if Striped Bass are meaningful to you or your business you're not going to want to miss this interview. If you want to hear more about Willy's mission you can follow him at (saltwaterguidesassociation.org), follow us on IG @saltwaterguidesassociation (or The American Saltwater Guides Association on Facebook), and check out out his podcast The Guide Post, on iTunes and Spotify #stripedbass #bass #fishing #stripedbassfishing #science #management #fishing #fish #marlin #tuna

Brett Jamison is better known in the traveling marlin circuit as "Mighty Whitey". A nickname he inherited from a particularly special White Marlin capture that we will hear about on this episode. Whitey is a world traveler, a best friend, sport fishing boat captain, spear fisherman, former commercial fisherman, fish wholesaler and a recent shark attack survivor. Whitey tells us about his horrifying ordeal involving a ill fated spear fishing trip in the Bahamas involving a aggressive Bull Shark. The aftermath and his current recovery.

The Little Hands That could

Joe Byrum is a man with a heart a hundred times larger then his hands. Joe unselfishly and routinely donates both his time and art for charities. Despite Joe often times finding himself short handed I've never once heard him complain about anything other then our mutual friend Chris. Joe is a constant reminder to do better. Beneath his assorted tie dyed t-shirt collection you will find a true heart of gold. What Joe lacks in hand size he makes up for with an infectious smile among other things. I truly enjoy fishing with Joe. We've been lucky enough to catch some big fish together in Australia and have hung a money fish in Kona. He's a world class photographer and even more so a world class friend. We have had some fantastic fishing together and some absolutely horrible fishing together. However regardless of fishing conditions the outcome is always the same we always have fun. I can think of no person I rather go marlin fishing with when enjoyment is on the line. Joe is hilarious, gifted and kind. Joe is another person I'm very proud to call my friend. Joes hobbies include couponing, basket weaving, Interpretive dance, taking photos of kittens in baskets and picking on me. You can follow Joes remarkable adventure and fantastic photography at @jayblesphoto If your thinking you've read this description of Joe on my Instagram account before you'd be 100 percent correct. Why post it again you ask? Well the last time I posted it Joe was on a multiple day binger and he either didn't see it or was to fucked up to care. So I figured what the heck it's new to him and it saves me a little work since I'm slightly hungover myself from interviewing him last night for our latest Vicious Cycle Podcast. Joe truly is a legend, listen on as he tells us about his career in the film industry he left behind for the pursuit of what lives beyond the oceans horizon. Joe answers many hard hitting question such as who parties harder celebrities or fisherman. Joe is always worth a listen but come hear the origin story of the super hero who walks amongst us today. #fishing #seaspircy #marlin #tuna #showbiz #sportfishing #travel #photography
