The sun rises over St. Petersburg. The boat engine hums. Waves lap against the hull. Rods are prepared. Bait is cast. The line goes taut. A flash of silver breaks the surface. The Spanish Mackerel fights. It dives and runs. The reel screams. Muscles strain. The fish tires. It's brought aboard. Scales glisten in the morning light. High fives are exchanged. The cooler lid opens. Ice crunches. The catch is stored. More lines are cast. The day is young. The sea holds promise. Fish are biting. Memories are made.
