The sun glints off the water. A gentle breeze ripples the surface. The boat rocks gently. Anticipation builds. A flash of silver beneath the waves. The line goes taut. The reel sings. A fierce battle ensues. The rod bends. Muscles strain. The fish leaps. Sunlight catches its scales. A beautiful Spanish mackerel. It dives. It runs. The fisherman reels. Slowly. Steadily. The fish tires. It comes alongside. The net dips. Success. A perfect catch. A memory made. A day well spent on the waters of Port Orange.
