I'm a fisherman who likes to observe and tell yarns, and so I told stories about things that I knew about.

When I am fishing, I think quite a lot about the fish, but I also think about the book I'm writing.

When I go fishing I like to know that there's nobody within five miles of me.

I have friends who remember seeing fish hauled onto a boat's deck and beaten to death.

I want everybody to go jump in the ocean to see for themselves how beautiful it is, how important it is to get acquainted with fish swimming in the ocean, rather than just swimming with lemon slices and butter.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

I deep sea fish a lot.

Right now I am kicking around an idea to do a web talk show on a boat. Guests would come on and go fishing with me. I would like to take people who have never fished: You get them out on the water and they really open up.

I have friends that I have made through Twitter or things like that, but they're all verified as real people - I've either seen them perform, or we're mutual fans of each other, something like that. I don't have any authentic, 'Catfish'-worthy stories.

The big fish run the show. I'm a middle fish, but there are small fish that are poisonous.
