Prepare to laugh, reflect, and possibly join a secret society. Acclaimed filmmaker and author Mark Cavanagh returns with Big Blue Society: Fishtales and Mayhem, launching June 15, 2025, in both print and ebook formats. A Literary Titan Gold Book Award recipient, this riotous memoir blends raw humor, deep camaraderie, and no-holds-barred storytelling, chronicling the decades-long misadventures of a band of wilderness-loving misfits.
“The Big Blue is a secret society,” writes Cavanagh. “Out where no human eyes can see... we set the wild man in us free.”
And free they are. Led by disabled veteran Norm Hansen, who trades a body cast for a fishing rod, the crew includes war vets, drunks, philosophers, and goofballs united by a simple creed: “Go for it… and deny everything.” From covert fishing trips to legendary backwoods escapades, Big Blue Society is a celebration of masculine friendship, healing through absurdity, and the unfiltered joy of getting gloriously lost in the wild.
Early praise from Literary Titan hails the book as “a wild, hilarious, and unexpectedly moving memoir... raw and beautiful... like sitting around a campfire with guys who have known each other forever.” Cavanagh’s vivid writing style invites readers into a world where laughter and loss coexist, and a cooler of cheap beer can be as sacred as a family heirloom.
Whether you're a fisherman, a veteran, a brother, or simply a man who's felt the primal pull of the outdoors, Big Blue Society delivers gut-busting stories and soul-deep truths. It’s more than a memoir—it’s an invitation to join the firelit brotherhood.
A wild new memoir for men—where fishing is just the beginning of the madness.
Don’t miss your chance to join the brotherhood—Big Blue Society: Fishtales and Mayhem is available now on Amazon.
