The sun glints off the water. Waves lap gently against the boat. A fisherman casts his line. The rod bends suddenly. A striped bass breaks the surface. It thrashes and dives. The angler reels steadily. The fish fights hard. It makes powerful runs. The fisherman stays calm. He works the rod skillfully. The bass tires slowly. It comes closer to the boat. The net is ready. With a final effort the fish is landed. It's a beautiful specimen. Silver scales shimmer in the light. Dark stripes run along its body. The fisherman admires his catch. A memorable moment on the open water.
