Hawaii, Alaska, and New England are some of the last frontiers of fishing in America, and to fish these places is to 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. Sharing humorous yarns as well as deep knowledge of angling, Conor Sullivan celebrates these special places where each fisherman can connect to the sea and restore some of that spiritual tranquility that cannot be found in cities.
