Healing Waters: How Captain Bob Cook Connects Veterans with the Therapeutic Power of the Sea
Captain Bob Cook—professional fisherman and star of National Geographic’s Wicked Tuna—joins the Hometown Hero Outdoors Podcast to share how a childhood love of the ocean turned into a lifelong mission.
From bold beginnings at age 11 aboard a lobster boat to battling bluefin on national television, Bob reflects on his fishing journey, reality TV experiences, and most importantly, how he’s using his platform to give back. In one unforgettable moment, a wounded veteran compared the hum of Bob’s boat to a Blackhawk helicopter mission—highlighting the powerful, unexpected healing that comes from time on the water.
This episode is a deep dive into passion, purpose, and the power of the sea to restore those who’ve served.
