Big Blue Society: Fishtales and Mayhem

One illegal fishing trip. A lifetime of adventure, brotherhood and laughter.

It began with a Vietnam veteran in a body cast, haunted by PTSD, who asked his best friend to take him fishing. The only water where success was guaranteed was posted and patrolled, and the trip ended in an arrest. It also started a secret society that has lasted fifty years.

Big Blue Society: Fishtales and Mayhem is a funny, heartfelt outdoor adventure memoir about friendship, camping misadventures, and the brotherhood that helped Norm Hansen heal. Out in the Big Blue, they set the wild man free.

Inside these true stories you will find:
* Fishing humor with no apologies: Raucous initiations, bad decisions, and tall tales told around a fire way too big.
* A Vietnam veteran's road to healing, told with laughter instead of sorrow.
* Real brotherhood: The loyalty, the pranks, and the losses of men who showed up for each other year after year.
* A motto to live by: Go for It... and Deny Everything.
* Photographs of the men that document the adventures.

If you love fishing humor, campfire tall tales, and true stories about camaraderie and second chances, pull up a chair.

Fair warning: this book contains rowdy language, good whiskey, and bad judgment.

Written by Mark Cavanagh with Norman Hansen, Brian Cavanagh, and William Lally.
