The boat rocks gently as we cast our lines. Cloudy skies loom above. The water shimmers with promise. A tug on the line. Excitement builds. A flash of red beneath the surface. The fish fights hard. Muscles strain as we reel. Finally it breaks the surface. A beautiful redfish. Its scales gleam in the dim light. We snap a quick photo. Smiles all around. Another successful day on the water. Memories made to last a lifetime.
