Michael Tougias and Adam Gamble had good lives: married with two children each, nice homes in the suburbs, jobs that paid the bills, and frequent fishing trips out on the ocean. But those comfortable lives had cracks in them and soon they found themselves hit by a rogue wave of divorce, financial hardship, addiction, and career upheaval. What kept them going—and helped them navigate the rough waters of middle age—was fishing and friendship. Alone on the ocean they not only learned some of the successful secrets of striped bass fishing, but they were also brutally honest in their advice for each other. They began to see their time spent on Adam’s boat, the Scout, as a way to explore new ways of thinking and dreaming big. The two not only discovered ways forward but achieved goals far beyond what they thought possible.

“This book will surely entertain anglers and non-anglers alike.”
(Alan Caolo, author of Sight-Fishing for Striped Bass)“Michael and Adam hit it out of the park.”
(Tom Rosenbauer, author of The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide)“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 Blinkoff, editor in chief, On The Water)“Gamble and Tougias utilize fishing thematically to masterfully blend anecdotes, metaphors, and philosophical ideas to grip the reader…This book will surely entertain anglers and nonanglers alike.”
(Alan Caolo, author of Sight-Fishing for Striped Bass)
