Synopsis

America’s most hilarious sportsman returns with this collection of insights about youth, the great outdoors, and the philosophy of fileting fish. When bestselling author Patrick McManus looks at a subject, you’re sure to come away with an outrageously new perspective.

In “Muldoon in Love” McManus examines how third-grade crushes can have a disastrous effect on show-and-tell. In “The Big Fix” he explores the insidious relationship between women and flat tires. In “What’s in a Name, Moonbeam?” he welcomes into the world a new grandchi … er … a new small relative.

“McManus captures the innocence most of us lose when we become grown-up.”—Booklist

In these 27 amusing short stories, the author reminisces about his childhood in Idaho and relates tall tales from his hunting and fishing experiences. The humor ranges from wry chuckles to roll on the floor laughter. This book is definitely worth the quick read. The characters are not only funny but......more

Goodreads review by Jay on January 26, 2018

I quite enjoy the work of Patrick McManus, especially the short stories about the people of his youth. In my time I have known some like Rancid Crabtree, Retch Sweeny, and Crazy Eddie Muldoon, and I’ve been involved in some crazy episodes, but the ones McManus writes about are so over-the-top they a......more
