The boat gently rocks as we cast our lines. Sunlight sparkles on the water. A cool breeze carries the scent of salt. Seagulls circle overhead. The anticipation builds. A tug on the line. The rod bends. A flash of silver beneath the surface. The fight begins. Muscles strain as we reel. The fish breaks the surface. A magnificent striped bass. We admire its sleek form. Photos are taken. The fish is released. It swims away. Another memory made on the water.
