The boat rocks gently on the water. Sunlight glints off the waves. A fisherman stands ready with his rod. The line tenses. A splash erupts nearby. A large red fish breaks the surface. Its scales shimmer in the light. The fisherman grins with excitement. He reels steadily. The fish fights hard. It dives and twists. The battle continues. Finally the fish tires. The fisherman brings it alongside. He admires its size and beauty. A perfect catch on a perfect day. The Sciaenops Ocellatus is a true prize.
