A hilarious excursion into the world of big-time fishing in Mexico with a pair of the zaniest anglers around, Matt Manning and Fred Hoctor - a rollicking adventure in the absurd!

This unusual album is much like an old-time radio variety show, with a story line featuring Hoctor and Manning on a fishing trip you will never forget, plus four wonderful songs that stand on their own.  It's a choice collection of fishing tips, songs, stories, jokes and recipes that make for the funniest fishing trip ever taken by two men in a boat! Featuring Fred Hoctor, famed fishing columnist and critically acclaimed humorist, and Europe's popular songwriter-performer Matt Manning, a world-class salmon angler. It's a side-splitting whimsical adventure on the water and the ultimate gift for that person in your life who fishes!

From the Album Notes:

My good friend Matt Manning, whom I call the "Irish Willy Nelson," came over from Ireland recently to visit us at "Yellowtail Ranch," our little fishing cottage on the beach at Ensenada Bay in Baja California, Mexico.  Matt and his wonderful wife Patsy stayed with us for a couple of weeks while I filled them with tales of spectacular fishing in various parts of Baja.  We fished every day, ate our catches with great gusto, and sitting around a campfire on a lonely beach we often sang well into the night.  These were some of our favorite songs.
