Fish Stories is the first online archive dedicated to recording fishing stories and preserving them for the future.
Using the Fish Stories service is, and always will be free for the fishing community and available 24/7. If you believe that all fish stories deserve to be told, and appreciate the ability to preserve the legacies of our loved ones, you can support our organization by becoming a True Fan. Either way, thanks for being awesome.
Definitely not. Some of the best fishing stories are made up. We welcome all fishing stories, made up or otherwise.
Well, not anything. As long as your story does not include any slanderous or defaming information about a person, product or brand, and is not a commercial for a company or product, you should be ok. Also, please do not use the real names of people in your story without their permission. You will be required to sign our Terms of Agreement prior to your story being uploaded into the archive.
Stories are available for download from our archive. Search for your story and select the (Download image button) from the menu.
Outdoor media has become a sprint towards perfection. 4K video, journalists who can immerse you in a moment, and professional fishers on YouTube are becoming the norm. Until now, audio has been limited to tips and tricks podcasts and interviews with professionals in the industry. Fish Stories gives the microphone and the platform to anyone with a fishing story. This allows us to record our grandparents, parents, children, family, friends and neighbors and listen to their stories for generations to come. Audio is the future of outdoor storytelling, and we are starting the movement.
Recording a story is easiest with your smartphone, and it takes great audio! Just open a new voice recording on your smart phone, hold it like a microphone (speaking into the bottom speaker) and hit record. Once done, email your recorded story to story@fishstories.org and we will review it for inclusion in the archive. You must agree to our Terms and Conditions before submitting a story to Fish Stories.
If you want to be that awesome, then YES! We are always looking for more True Fans who believe Fish Stories are important. For less than a cup of coffer each month, you can get your Fish Stories swagger on. Fish Stories will always offer free listening and sharing of stories. That is our commitment to the fishing community.
Some people have a larger story to tell, or might like to incorporate other forms of audio (audio from past video footage, sound effects, music, etc) into their project. This service will be reserved for those who support Fish Stories at the Epic Fan level or above.
