Ninety Miles Out

Three friends. One fishing trip. 225 pounds of trouble.

John thought the biggest risk of running ninety miles offshore was bad weather, engine trouble, or coming home without a single grouper. He was wrong.

John is a paramedic-smart, cautious, sarcastic, and usually the voice of reason. Mike is his exact opposite: street-smart, reckless, loyal to a fault, and always convinced the next big score is just around the corner. Alex is the guy every group needs-the calm problem solver who can fix almost anything when everything starts falling apart.

Their plan was simple: run deep into the Gulf of Mexico, fish an old wreck, fill the cooler with grouper and snapper, and be home by dark.

Then they spot something floating in the water.

A black-wrapped bale.

Then another.

And another.

By the time they realize what they've found, roughly 225 pounds of high-quality marijuana is sitting on John's boat-and somebody is looking for it.

What follows is the fishing trip from hell.

A mysterious Cessna circles overhead. A violent storm rolls across the Gulf. Armed men in a speedboat begin asking questions. The boat breaks down miles from shore. And just when John thinks things can't possibly get worse, Mike decides that floating back toward Florida on hundreds of pounds of marijuana is somehow a reasonable plan.

What began as a day of fishing becomes a hilarious, dangerous fight to get home alive.

Packed with fast-paced adventure, dark humor, Gulf Coast atmosphere, unforgettable banter, and the kind of friendship that survives even the worst decisions imaginable, Ninety Miles Out is a wild ride about loyalty, greed, bad ideas, and three friends who discover exactly how far they'll go for one another.

Because sometimes the biggest thing you catch isn't a fish.

And sometimes the best fishing stories are the ones nobody would ever believe.
