The boat rocks gently on the water. The sun glints off the surface. A fisherman stands ready with his rod. The line goes taut. A flash of red beneath the waves. The fish fights hard. It breaks the surface. A beautiful redfish. The angler grins with excitement. He reels it in carefully. The fish is netted. It's a good size. The scaly skin shimmers in the light. Another great catch on a perfect day. Memories are made on days like this.
