How is this different from Fish Tales Told Here?

Fish Tales shows a fish leaping from the waves on a line, with “sizes may vary.” This one is a straight confession with a big deadpan bass.

Is this a good Father's Day gift?

For a dad who fishes, yes. Every fishing dad has been accused of stretching the truth at least once.

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

Honest about taxes, honest about directions, honest about who ate the last donut. Ask about the fish, though, and all bets are off. A cheerful confession for the angler who stretches exactly one truth.

A big gold-and-olive bass with dark spots, a spiky dorsal fin and a slightly unimpressed expression swims sideways across a round vintage badge, filling it against a teal sunburst. “I ONLY LIE ABOUT” follows the top of the ring in cream, and “THE FISH” finishes the sentence in gold below.

He'll be holding this mug when the story starts with “So there I was.”

Who it's for

Fishing dads on Father's Day, story-telling grandpas and the buddy who always “just missed” a monster are the obvious candidates. It also makes a good thank-you after a fishing trip.

About the mug

11 oz glossy ceramic mug with the design printed on both sides, so it shows whichever hand holds it. Dishwasher and microwave safe.

Care

Top-rack dishwasher safe. Hand washing keeps the print bright the longest.
