The boat rocked gently. Sunlight glinted off the water. A fisherman cast his line. The rod bent suddenly. A sheepshead broke the surface. Its distinctive stripes flashed in the light. The angler grinned with excitement. He reeled steadily. The fish fought hard. Finally it landed on deck. Everyone cheered. Another successful catch on a perfect day.
