The sun glints off the water. A fishing boat bobs gently. Two anglers stand ready. Their lines dip into the blue. Suddenly a tug. The rod bends. A flash of red beneath the surface. The fight begins. Muscles strain. The fish darts left then right. Slowly it tires. A net appears. With a splash the Redfish is aboard. Grins all around. A perfect catch on a perfect day. The Pamlico Sound delivers once again. Another memory made on these bountiful waters.
