While we might all know Steel from his social media presence over the better part of the last decade, many might not know how he got to where he is today in terms of sponsor support, social following, and riding resume. Steel started riding at the age of 9, and only a few years after signed his first paying contract with the biggest brand to ever be involved in wakeboarding, Nike.

Vessel-whale collisions are a significant concern in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, where nutrient-rich waters support a seasonal influx of humpback whales and other marine mammals. As one of the most visited marine parks in Alaska, Glacier Bay sees a high volume of vessel traffic, including cruise ships, tour boats, and private craft. This summer an adult humpback whale was seen with a fresh, one-foot gash behind its dorsal fin which appeared to be from contact with a boat propeller.  This week the Traveler's Lynn Riddick reaches out to biologist Chris Gabriele to discuss this incident and the park's strategies to reduce whale collisions, including monitoring whale activity, warning systems, and public education. 

This week Greg-Your 1st Mate returns from a liveaboard boating adventure in the Maldives. Plus lobster poachers in Florida and California get what they deserve.

Mitch Lee, CEO of Arc Boat Company, is bringing the Tesla playbook to boating. Arc's quiet, software-powered electric boats—like the sold-out Arc Sport—deliver cleaner rides, zero fumes, and customizable wave settings. Mitch shares why electric makes more sense on water than land, how dockside charging already works, and why Arc builds full boats instead of motors. With $100M raised and an expansion into commercial vessels, Arc is leading a cleaner, better future for marine travel.Episode recorded on Aug 6, 2025 (Published on Aug 12, 2025)In this episode, we cover: [3:27] An overview of Arc Boat Company [5:07] Mitch's background and experience ⁠[6:28] The inefficiency of gas boats and fuel use[8:17] His decision to build Arc [10:54] The company's vertically integrated battery pack ⁠[12:04] Why Arc builds complete boats, not just motors⁠[13:31] Battery size, range, and charging times for Arc boats[16:36] Charging Arc boats [19:26] The traditional boat market and Arc's advantage[24:26] Safety on Arc boats ⁠[28:51] Lessons from Arc One to Arc Sport⁠[33:20] Software-driven customization for water sports⁠[39:19] Arc Coast's design and target market⁠[41:30] Expansion into commercial and hybrid-electric vessels[44:21] Why the US hasn't electrified commercial vessels like ferries ⁠[49:06] $100M raised from top VCs and celebrity investors Enjoyed this episode?

Send us a textThis week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale has a fascinating discussion with Katie Vivian, FWP Region 4 Fisheries Manager. Katie is very intelligent, especially when it comes to the fish in Tiber Reservoir, which is also her personal favorite place to fish.  Tiber can be challenging to get it to give up its HUGE Walleye and other species. When you watch this podcast on YouTube or listen to it here, Katie will explain why and will help you get around that. One of the main reasons that Rigger contacted Katie in the first place was so many of you had emailed him and asked what was the reason for those incredible record breaking weights that were turned in during the Walleyes Unlimited Walleye Tournament just last June. In fact, those weights were so incredible that they became national news. It is VERY unusual to see the size of so many huge walleyes being caught over a two-day period and not just by the winning team but by many of the other teams. That's a huge change from past tournaments at Tiber. So yeah, it's not surprising that national publications picked up that story. One question came out of all those news stories, "why", why all the sudden such dramatic change in the size of Walleye caught in Tiber. Sure, one team can just have an amazing two days, but to have so many teams do it, well that lead everyone to feel that something BIG had changed at Tiber Reservoir but no one knew why, that is until now. Wait until you hear what Katie Vivian says on this podcast. When you do be prepared to have a "mystery solved" moment. All of us here at the Montana Outdoor Podcast can't wait for you to hear this!! Plus, Katie gives a great overview of what else is swimming around in Tiber Reservior. We predict there will likely be a whole lot of you heading for Tiber Reservior there in North Central Montana! So what are you waiting for? Get to listening or better yet watch it on YouTube cause Katie also shares some awesome pictures of some monsters that have shown up in her netting surveys at Tiber!Links:To learn more about Tiber Reservoir click here. Click here to learn more about Barotrauma in fish, a term Katie talks about in the podcast.Click here to check out the Montana Fish Management Plan.Questions for Katie Vivian?

This week the WOB crew discuss the latest demographic makeup of your average boater and how you fit into the mix.

On this week's episode, Nathan and Riley – the former of whom has spent the past several days near a beach and the latter of whom just returned from a boating excursion – are joined by Chris “Peg Leg” Person to discuss boats, boating, and a flotilla of related matters. First we talk about Riley's recent voyage, which involved reading Moby Dick as quickly as possible while on a boat. Why? Riley enjoys punishing himself, I guess. Then Riley regales us with tales of the time he lived on a boat during his youth, up to and including his convoluted waste disposal process. After that, we move on to a boat-related news item at the opposite end of the wealth spectrum: Gabe Newell, billionaire co-founder of Valve, recently purchased a yacht company. Why are rich people so obsessed with big boats? Listen to find out. Lastly, we list the best boats in video games, including the GOAT boat.

This week the WOB crew are joined by a lady working to earn her boat captains license.

  Whaling was big business. Connecticut and her sister New England states built ships, forged cast iron tools, produced wooden storage casks and outfitted sailors. Stonington, Mystic, New London, and New Haven were part of New England's predominance in successful whaling. We're going to get into the nitty gritty of the trade in this episode and hear about some of the striking artifacts from Mystic Seaport's whaling collection - tools, ship logs, harpoons, blubber hooks and scrimshaw - that are on view. They speak to the staggering risks and rewards of the whaling industry that lit America's lamps and greased its machines for over a century. We're also going to talk about the largest whaling artifact of all - the Charles W. Morgan, the last American whaling ship in existence. It was considered “ancient” in the 1920s but has been faithfully restored.   This summer we are featuring two episodes on whaling. To get the big picture on whaling, we talked to one of our favorite guests, Eric Jay Dolin, in episode 211, about his book Leviathan, the History of Whaling in America. And in today's episode, we'll visit Mystic Seaport Museum's new exhibition “Monstrous: Whaling and Its Colossal Impact” with curator Mike Dyer. The exhibit explores the sheer scale-physical, economic, and human-of the nation's whaling industry and its legacy. Dyer is the Curator of Maritime History and an Instructor in the Frank C. Munson Institute of American Maritime History at Mystic Seaport Museum. Visitors can tour the new exhibit and visit the Charles W. Morgan  for an unforgettable immersive experience.   *Warning: Listeners may find the content of  this episode disturbing. Whaling was a brutal trade. We are describing the industry in its historic context.*   Listen to the whaling episode with Eric J.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife now has the authority to study and conserve the state's native invertebrates and rare plants in a comprehensive manner, which has strengthened Colorado's ability to protect biodiversity.In 2024, Colorado passed House Bill 24-1117 which placed the management of invertebrates and rare plants under CPW's wildlife umbrella. The bill defined rare plants to mean a plant species that is indigenous to the State of Colorado and that is at risk of extinction or elimination across the entirety of their distribution due to restricted range, few populations or occurrences, steep declines or severe threats.In the second part of our two-part series on this topic, we transition to talking about these rare plants.There are more than 2,800 native plants in Colorado, and 125 of those are endemic to our state, which means they only are found here. Of those, 90 are classified as rare.As Colorado updates its State Wildlife Action Plan, 195 rare plants are included in that plan.In this episode, we are going to chat with CPW Natural Areas Program Manager Raquel Wertsbaugh about her program's longstanding work with rare and native plants, while we also talk with Savanna Smith, CPW's new Rare Plants Program Manager, to learn more about CPW's work in this field. You'll hear the great lengths they go to for monitoring these plants, learn what makes some species such as the Rocky Mountain monkeyflower and Pagosa skyrocket so special, and get some information on what you can do to promote the health of rare plants in our state.

On The South Florida Roundup, we examined Monday's traumatic collision between a barge and a sailboat in Biscayne Bay that left two children dead — and again reminded us how chaotic our local waters seem to be (01:08). We also looked at a controversial immigration arrest in Palm Beach County that mistakenly collared a young U.S. citizen — who was told he “had no rights” (19:24). And we talked with former CBS chairman and Palm Beach resident Gene Jankowski about his new media memoir (36:09).

Josh Letchworth has worked with some of the biggest celebrities and brands out there, but before he broke into these other industries he was regarded as one of the best wakeboard photographers to pick up a camera. Josh got a later start than some other photographers, not really diving deep into photography until after college, where he began shooting live music. His journey progressed from live events into wakeboarding, where he built a career off of telling stories through his images. Gaining self confidence, negotiating retainers, having the lab mess up your photos on a shoot for Fox, working with Nike, breaking the rules, and what makes a photo “good”.

What better day to talk about boating than a day where temperatures reached 90 in Buffalo. Proper boating etiquette can be taken multiple ways, if you're captaining the boat, what is proper etiquette amongst boat captains sharing the seas, if you're invited on a boat, what are the do's and dont's of being a guest on a vessel. Whatever the situation, we take your calls on proper etiquette on all things seafaring. Also, we talk about President Trump's appearance touring the Federal Reserve with Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

Once rooted in Miami, the Zuupack members have now spread out across the country, with Maxx being one of the last to remain where the group started. While Maxx might not claim himself to be the leader of the Zuupack, it is clear that his creative vision has helped the crew get to where they are today. Recently taking more trips internationally, and spending a good bit of time exploring the United States (including a 7,700 mile road trip), Maxx has a lot of experience both as a rider in the industry, as well as getting a look behind the scenes when he worked at a dealership. Euro scene vs. American scene, the creation of the Zuupack, getting in with Slingshot and Mystic, events in the states, content, Argentina, and a 7,700 mile long trip across America.

From jack plate selection to proper trailer setup, this episode tackles the physics behind what makes boats run efficiently and how to fix common performance issues.• Finding your boat's balance point is crucial for optimal performance and speed• For every inch of setback added, you need to raise your motor approximately a quarter inch• The weight behind the transom is often more important than the inches of setback• Rather than focusing solely on prop selection, ensure proper boat balance first• Properly adjusted trailers are essential to prevent structural damage and improve boat longevity• Porpoising (bouncing) when trimming up indicates weight distribution issues• Four-stroke motors typically need different setup considerations than two-strokes• Consider your full loaded hunting weight rather than empty boat performance• Trailer bunks should properly support the hull's running surface without stressing the chines• Proper tongue weight (70-80 pounds) helps maintain trailer stability during towingIf you've found this information helpful, check out our gear shop for performance props and other equipment to help you get the most from your boat.

Send us a textThis week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale talks about something that has been patrolling much of Montana's Waterways for many years but many of you may not even know about it. No, it is not part of the Montana FWP but works with them quite often. It is actually part of the Department of Homeland Security and more specifically part of the United States Coast Guard. Yes, this week Downrigger has a fascinating discussion with Captain Dave Hansen of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. Yeah, that's right the Coast Guard Auxiliary has a strong presence on Montana's waterways, and it is all done by a bunch of dedicated volunteers. No, they are not part of law enforcement or out checking for fishing licenses or things like that. Their main focus is safety on the water, whether you are in a boat, on a jet ski,  on a sailboat or on a paddle board. They are just there to help everyone be safe or assist those that need help whether it lending you a life jacket for you or your child or actually saving your life when something goes wrong. No violations or fines just sincere help from experts in the field of safety. And it even goes further than that! With the a motto of “Semper Paratus” (Always Ready, or Always Prepared) it says a lot about these guys and gals in blue!  For those of you that watch this podcast you will see some of the boats they use and what the signs look like on their boats, as well as what their uniforms look like. That way you can give them a wave or stop and say hi and thank them for all they do, though these humble Auxiliarists never expect that, they just love what they do. Don't miss this podcast everyone we are positive that you will say, at least three or four times while listening or watching, "Wow! I had no idea they did that!" Links:To learn more about the Coast Guard Auxiliary all across America, click here.Click here to learn more about the Coast Guard Auxiliary here in Montana.To learn more about having them perform a free boat safety inspection for your or members of an organization that you belong to click here. Click here to learn about all their boating safety classes.Do you have questions for Captain Dave Hansen?

This episode tackles heartbreaking and explosive issues. First, a tragic boat crash on Lake Greenwood claims the lives of two young college sweethearts—highlighting the deadly consequences of drunk boating and the urgent need to speak up when friends act recklessly. Then, a passionate warning against escalating the Ukraine conflict by sending more weapons—arguing that economic pressure on Russia and China is a safer, smarter alternative to risking nuclear war. Finally, the show dives into the shocking disappearance of Epstein documents and rising public anger over the government's refusal to release critical evidence. Buckle up for a raw, unfiltered look at today's most controversial headlines.

In this wide-ranging broadcast, the host takes aim at media narratives blaming Trump-era budget cuts for delayed flash flood warnings during Texas' deadly storms. Drawing on official statements from the Department of Homeland Security and the National Weather Service, the show debunks claims of staffing shortages and proves alerts were issued hours in advance—despite media insistence to the contrary. The discussion then pivots to the deeper problem: weather forecasting models that ignore solar activity, fueling dangerous inaccuracies the host argues are driven by climate change politics rather than science. The episode also spotlights South Carolina's shocking DUI culture, recounting a harrowing July 4th boating crash that killed two people on Lake Greenwood and exploring why the state's judicial system repeatedly fails to hold drunk drivers accountable. Finally, the host answers listener questions about weather modification and geoengineering bans while promising a return to the Epstein client list controversy dominating national headlines.
