What kind of fish is on the Fish Tales design?

A chunky, spotted gamefish in gold and olive that most anglers read as a bass, caught on a line mid-jump.

Does it work as a retirement gift for a fisherman?

Yes. Retirement means more time on the water and more time to improve the story.

Is the design on both sides of the mug?

Yes. The design is printed on both sides, so it faces out whether the mug is held in the left hand or the right.

About this design

Ask an angler how big it was and watch the hands spread wider with every retelling. Think of this design as the sign hung at the dock: stories told here, accuracy optional.

Inside a round vintage badge in cream, teal, gold and burnt orange, a chunky spotted fish leaps from the waves with a fishing line hooked in its mouth, backed by an orange sun. “FISH TALES TOLD HERE” curves over the top, “SIZES MAY VARY” runs below in gold, and underneath: “EST. ONE THAT GOT AWAY.”

The mug rides next to the thermos at a 5 a.m. launch, where most fish tales get their first draft.

Who it's for

Think of the dad who spends Father's Day on the lake, the grandpa holding court at the bait shop, or a coworker retiring to fish on weekdays. It fits a Christmas stocking, too.

About the mug

Care
