The old fishing pier out on the end of Cypress Lake has just fallen under the magic of another Catfish Moon

It was the favorite hangout for three best friends when they were kids - skipping school, skinny dipping and even experiencing the mysteries of kissing girls

Now Curley, Gordon and Frog are older, and they have tasted the bitterness of life as well as the sweetness, and the pressures and problems that come with middle age have eroded the closeness between Frog and Gordon

The final straw comes when Frog discovers that Gordon is dating his ex - wife. Curley, the "big brother" of the bunch, in an attempt to recapture the friendship and settle all disputes, convinces Frog and Gordon to go on an overnight fishing trip like old times

On the pier, the weight of adulthood is lifted by laughter and their love of fishing, and the three guys discover that their friendship was never really lost. However, in the midst of catching the biggest fish of all time, life brings them back to a painful reality

The poignant resolution of the play brings Gordon and Frog to the realization that life is too precious and too short to let true friendship get away
