HOLA

Este texto habla sobre un hombre al que le gusta pescar y fue designado gerente de sitio de una empresa.

Gene received the Dyno Nobel Site Manager of the Year Award in 2006. Gene is an avid fisherman and you can often hear him say, “I am one with the fish".

¿Cómo traducirían "I am one with the fish" al español? Creo que es un idiom.

Muchas gracias.

estar en armonía con los peces
Explanation:
This is the idea: "Estoy en armonía con los peces".

It is more common to see "to be one (or "at one") with nature". In this case it means your spirit/life is in harmony with your natural surroundings. You feel at peace in and with nature.

References for "estar en armonía con la naturaleza" abound if you look in Google. Of course the fish are aren't there!
