Bernard, when he stood on the edge of the Big Drop and looked over, could understand the urge to leap. He had experienced it many years before in a car, when on a near whim he nearly weaved his machine right into the path of an oncoming semi.

There were times when he felt that way looking over the edge of The Big Drop.
This award winning novel should be in every anglers library. I can recall reading this book in seventh grade and being so captivated that I sat under a tree at recess to continue reading it rather than play with my friends. (If you knew me in middle school, this statement would cause an audible gasp.) It is a fictional story of a boy named Ben who lived on Martha’s Vineyard with his mother. His father, who has passed away, held the record for the biggest striped bass in the annual tournament. Ben uncovers a plot of two men who plan to cheat their way into beating the record, and the book really takes off from there.

Let nothing be wasted.” So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

She loves science, weather, and most of all…fish! In 2017 she ventured into her career as an outdoor communicator and has been growing as an angler and a professional ever since.
