The sun sparkles on the water. A gentle breeze ripples the surface. The boat rocks softly. In the distance a fish breaks the surface. Excitement builds as we cast our lines. The rod bends suddenly. A strong pull. The fight is on. The reel sings as line peels out. We gain ground slowly. A flash of silver beneath the waves. The net dips. Success. A beautiful spotted weakfish lies in the boat. Its scales glisten in the sunlight. A perfect day on the water. Memories to last a lifetime.
