The sun glistens off the water. Waves lap gently against the boat. A cool breeze carries the scent of salt. The rod bends suddenly. A flash of silver breaks the surface. The spotted weakfish fights hard. Its scales shimmer in the light. The angler reels steadily. The fish darts left and right. Finally it tires. The net scoops it up. A perfect catch on a perfect day. The fisherman grins proudly. Another memory made on the Pamlico Sound.
