Whiskey often fills my pours. Women often fill my thoughts. But fishing has always filled my heart. The ocean calls to us in many forms. Some are destined to surf upon her waves, some submerge their entire lives below her surface, while others are meant to be blown across her, powered merely by her cousin the wind. Then there is us, the fisherman. An unlikely family of misfits drawn together by the bond of the sea. Although this book is a collection of my own personal tales from the sea and personal battles on land, I believe they will resonate with every true fisherman out there. I invite you to navigate a portion of the ocean that is my life. Like all oceans it has its rough days and dark nights. But if father time has taught me anything from my journey, it is through these challenges that we learn the most about ourselves. Fishing isn’t always pretty, but it’s a beautiful life. I now share those stories and those challenges with you. This book is a all access pass into my struggles with depression, drinking and the opposite sex. Recent reviews have called the book, raw, dark, edgy and real. My favorite review so far may perhaps be from a woman who called the book "an unlikely and surprising love story, buried under a pile of blood and fish guts." This book is written for adventurers, travelers and those who love life upon the sea. Most importantly however this book is written for those who may need some inspiration dealing with the everyday life. If even one person can step out of the darkness from something they read within these pages, then this book has been a overwhelming success for me.
