I have had numerous chances where I came to a fishing spot and smelled what I could best describe as either watermelon or cucumber rinds.

And then I proceed to ge plastics bitten off by blues.

When blues blitz, they go into hyper-feed mode.
In order to maximize this they have developed a habit of regurgitating in order to make room for more food.
Their stomach acids/digestive juices are what create that mellon smell.

One of the first times I came across this was in the canal, and I could have sworn someone had dumped a truckload of mellons on the shore from the strength of the smell.

I am a legend in my own mind!
