The boat rocks gently as we cast our lines. Sunlight glimmers on the water. A cool breeze carries the scent of salt. Seagulls circle overhead. Anticipation builds. Suddenly a tug. The rod bends. A flash of silver beneath the surface. The struggle begins. Muscles strain. The fish leaps. Spray flies. Hearts race. Finally the net dips. Success. A magnificent striped bass lies on the deck. High fives all around. Another perfect day on the water.
