The sun glints off the water. A boat rocks gently. Fishing rods line the deck. Anticipation fills the air. A tug on the line. The reel screams. A flash of red beneath the surface. The fight is on. Muscles strain. The rod bends. A massive redfish breaks the surface. It thrashes wildly. The angler holds on. Slowly the fish tires. It comes alongside. A quick measurement. Photos snapped. The redfish slips back into the depths. Smiles all around. Another memory made on the water.
