The boat rocked gently as we cast our lines. The sun glinted off the water. A massive striped bass leapt from the waves. Its silver scales shimmered in the light. The fish fought hard. The rod bent. The reel screamed. We struggled. Finally we brought it aboard. It was a monster. Easily over 40 pounds. We snapped a photo. The proud angler beamed. It was a catch of a lifetime. We released it back to the sea. Another day on the water. Another memory made. Fishing in Boston never disappoints.
