Summary

Author and master storyteller Stephen Sautner narrates this special immersive audio edition of his modern angling classic complete with music and ambient sound. Through a series of 50 personal essays, each of which worthy of its own podcast, Fish On, Fish Off explores what happens when the self-taught, DIY angler sets out to fish the world–and winds up stumbling into every possible pitfall and danger along the way.

These include: getting chased from a river by an elephant, surviving a terrifying helicopter ride over the Straits of Magellan, and breaking his only rod on the second cast in Cuba’s Bay of Pigs. Closer to home, he is swept off a jetty by a rogue wave, winds up in an emergency room more than once with fishing lures hanging from various parts of his anatomy, and perhaps most daunting, surviving 30 years of the scrum better known as opening day of trout season in his crowded home state of New Jersey. These stories of heartbreak, terror, and triumph transcend beyond fishing, and make for excellent listening for angler and non-angler alike.
