The sun peeks over the horizon. Lake Pleasant shimmers. A boat glides across calm waters. Two anglers cast their lines. Ripples spread. Birds call in the distance. A sudden tug. The rod bends. A splash erupts. A catfish breaks the surface. Its whiskers twitch. Scales glisten. The angler grins. A net swoops down. The catch is secured. High fives are exchanged. Another cast. The adventure continues. Fish stories are born.
