Summary:
"From the azure waters of Hawaii to the pristine streams in Alaska to the craggy New England coast, devoted angler Conor Sullivan reveals the agony and ecstasy of fishing. Sullivan seamlessly blends the how-to of a sportsman with stories of wonder and adventure in his debut, illuminating how fishing connects those who practice it with a reverence for a world beyond the one humans created. Sullivan reveals what goes into the pursuit of select fish in the region with humor and personal stories as well as deep knowledge. Hawaii, Alaska and New England are some of the last frontiers of fishing in America. They are full of danger, big fish, and extraordinary adventure. To fish these places is to reach back and stand alongside the First Nations of fishermen--our ancestors who lived there for thousands of years before us--as well as those early Americans who built this country using species like cod as their currency. These cultural and fishing outposts will tell us something if we can just be quiet and listen. To hear that message requires an intrinsic respect for these ancient fishing grounds and our connection to them. This mindset is in lock-step with a growing movement of anglers who fish these wildest of waters as a way to turn down the noise of modern living and tune into their fundamental, hands-on relationship with the sea, finding not only the solace, but the sustenance the fish provides to those who take the time to learn its lessons. Plus, filling a freezer with the world's healthiest protein just feels right. By turns funny, thrilling, and lyric, Fishing the Wild Waters celebrates these special places where each fisherman can pull back the curtain, connect to the sea, and gaze into their own soul - the soul of a fisherman."-- Publisher.
