The boat rocks gently as we cast our lines. Sunlight glints off the water. A tug on the line. The reel spins. A flash of copper beneath the surface. The rod bends. A fierce battle ensues. The fish darts left and right. Muscles strain. The net dips. A beautiful redfish emerges. Its scales shimmer. We admire its strength. A quick photo. Then back it goes. The sea reclaims its own. We grin. Another memory made.
