"""I truly enjoyed this book. Forming real friendships in adulthood is rare, but a shared love for fishing is a powerful thing. Tougias and Gamble weave together a story that proves the bond between 'fishing buddies' is stronger than the term would suggest, as time spent together in the pursuit of fish can lead to meaningful human connection."" --Kevin Blinko, Editor-in-Chief, On The Water ""You'll feel like you're on the water with the authors as they use their skiff not only to pursue fish, but as a brainstorming center to cope with life's many challenges. This moving story proves the benefits of fishing go far beyond bent rods or fish in the cooler."" --John Skinner, fishing author and videographer ""I'm not a big fan of fishing essays because they always seem to fall flat compared to the experience itself. And I didn't think the idea of two guys alternating stories could work. But Michael and Adam hit it out of the park. They are both terrific storytellers and this book is fun and lively and heartwarming. From a harrowing tale of swimming with sharks in the Bahamas to seals and dolphins and ocean sunfish on the Cape, they make a life on the water come alive. Besides, I am always a sucker for books on striped bass or Cape Cod."" --Tom Rosenbauer, author of The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide and host of the The Orvis Fly Fishing podcast ""This is an unusual fishing book that is much more about life than it is the sporting pursuit of fish. With recreational angling as the genesis of their friendship, Gamble and Tougias utilize fishing thematically to masterfully blend anecdotes, metaphors, and philosophical ideas to grip the reader. But throughout its prose, gems of angling insight suddenly emerge that will enlighten even a salty veteran. This book will surely entertain anglers and non-anglers alike.""-- Alan Caolo, author of Sight-Fishing for Striped Bass"
