On a picturesque river, a fisherman is having no luck. He’s joined by an elderly man, who quickly begins catching bigger and bigger fish with nothing but an old rod and an empty hook. The fisherman begins to think there may be more to fishing than simply trying to catch a fish.

Told with only music and sound effects, Fishing With Baited Breath is a live-action comedy inspired by classic animated shorts. The film relies on visual storytelling, physical comedy and sight gags to tell an entertaining tale about the importance of living in the process and not worrying about the result.
