The sun glints off the water as our boat rocks gently. A flash of silver breaks the surface. My rod bends sharply. The bluefish fights hard pulling line. Its teeth gnash as I bring it aboard. The sleek body shimmers in the light. We admire its powerful build before releasing it back to the sea. The thrill of the catch lingers as we cast again hoping for another epic battle with these ferocious predators.
