Blue Runner caught while deep sea trolling at 93 Dunlawton Ave

The sun rose over the horizon. Our boat bobbed gently on the waves. We cast our lines into the deep blue water. Suddenly a flash of silver caught my eye. A Blue Runner darted beneath the surface. Its sleek body glinted in the morning light. The fish circled our bait. It struck with lightning speed. The reel screamed as line peeled off. We fought the powerful fish. After a thrilling battle we landed our prize. A beautiful Caranx Crysos lay on the deck. Its metallic scales shimmered in the sun. We admired our catch before releasing it back to the sea. Another successful day on the water.
