About this listen
In A New Hampshire Fisherman’s Tale, Derek Fisher invites listeners into the salty, bone-cracked life of a solitary lobsterman whose only crime was renewing his mooring permit a few weeks too late.
With poetic grit and unfiltered honesty, Fisher chronicles his backbreaking daily grind on the Atlantic Ocean, only to be blindsided by the cold fist of bureaucracy: the ice-hearted Pease Port Authority. Ultimately, his 30 years as a commercial fisherman collapses simply because of a clerical misstep that the Authority, blind to his desperate pleas, refuses to ignore.
What begins as a vivid portrait of a man bound to the sea becomes a gripping, Kafkaesque descent into red tape hell. Through gut-wrenching detail and righteous fury, Fisher reveals how a single blunder (a missed deadline) can sink a man’s livelihood, dignity, and identity.
This is more than a tale of late paperwork; it’s a working-class David vs. Goliath, where the Goliath doesn’t even bother to look up from its clipboard.
