Ep 21 - Sea Duck Hunting the Chesapeake Bay with Samson Matthews
Jon sits down with longtime friend Samson Matthews of South Marsh Outfitters to talk about sea duck hunting on the Chesapeake Bay.
Samson explains what it’s like hunting from a layout boat, how longline decoy spreads work, and why shooting fast-moving sea ducks from a rocking boat is unlike any other kind of waterfowl hunting. They also discuss the history of Chesapeake Bay waterfowling, trophy species, season dates, lodging, and everything hunters should know before planning a trip.
Recorded at the Delta Waterfowl Expo in Des Moines, Iowa.

Jon recaps an incredible 2026 turkey season, including a last-minute trip to Pennsylvania that helped cure a serious case of "turkey depression."

The conversation then shifts to preparing for the seasons ahead. Jon discusses dog training during the summer heat, keeping hunting dogs healthy in the offseason, waterfowl preparation, scouting, calling practice, public land draw deadlines, and the work already underway for next fall's duck and goose seasons.

Ep 19 - Getting the Shot With Sam & Nik
In this episode of the Find Your X Podcast, Sam Smith flips the script and steps into the host chair for a conversation with Hurricane Marsh Creative Director and outdoor cinematographer Nik Opel.
Nik pulls back the curtain on what it takes to capture the moments viewers see on screen—from filming spring turkey hunts and waterfowl seasons to managing camera gear, editing content, and telling stories through the lens. The two discuss the similarities between hunting and sports, the mental side of filming hunts, camera setups, turkey hunting strategies, and what goes into creating cinematic outdoor content.
The conversation also shifts to deer season preparation, broadhead debates, scent control, and Sam reflects on married life after his recent wedding. To wrap things up, the guys talk about upcoming events, new products, and what’s next for Hurricane Marsh.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to be behind the camera instead of behind the gun, this episode is for you.
