Description

Lucky Gone Fishing is a hilariously heartfelt story about bad luck, stubborn hope, and a man who can’t seem to stay out of trouble—even in the middle of the ocean.

Lucky only wanted one thing: a quiet day on the water. One skiff, one fishing pole, and one musubi. Simple. But simplicity doesn’t stand a chance against Lucky’s curse. The fish boycott him, the cooler mutinies, and before noon he’s somehow lost the entire island.

Now stranded at sea with nothing but sarcasm and regrets, Lucky faces thirst, storms, flashbacks of Vietnam, and hallucinations of Darlyn scolding him with mangoes. The Pacific becomes his deadliest—and strangest—opponent yet, and Lucky’s survival depends on whether he can out-joke the ocean before it swallows him whole.

By the time rescue finally arrives, Lucky still hasn’t caught a single fish…but he’s learned something even more unbelievable: sometimes stubbornness—and maybe even love—can keep a man afloat long after his luck runs out.

Funny, heartfelt, and unexpectedly profound, Lucky Gone Fishing is perfect for readers who enjoy adventure with humor, flawed heroes, and stories of resilience wrapped in wit.
