Join Michael J. Tougias, of Mendon, and Adam Gamble out on the water to see how their mutual passion for heart-pounding fishing action transforms their destinies. When the pair first met, they were married with two children each, nice homes in the suburbs, jobs that paid the bills, and frequent fishing trips. But their comfortable lives had cracks in them, and they soon found themselves hit by the rogue waves of divorce, financial challenges, addiction, and career upheaval. What kept them going—and helped them navigate the rough waters of middle age—was fishing and friendship. Together they not only learned some of the successful secrets of striped bass fishing, but they were also brutally honest in their advice for each other. They began to see their time spent on Adam’s boat, the Scout, as a way to explore new ways of thinking, dreaming big, and being right with the world. The two not only discovered ways forward but began living lives far beyond what they thought possible.

The Power of Positive Fishing offers an inside look at what makes a super-successful male friendship and how that is sorely needed today with loneliness targeted by the Surgeon General as an epidemic.

This uniquely crafted book is an emotional journey interspersed with humor on how two

individuals finally began tapping into their full potentials, while hooking some great fish along the way.
