The sun dips low casting a golden glow across Lake Pleasant. Our boat glides smoothly over calm waters. The air is warm and still. Anticipation builds as we prepare our lines. The first cast breaks the surface with a gentle plop. Minutes pass in peaceful silence. Suddenly a tug. The rod bends. A flash of silver beneath the water. The fight begins. A channel catfish emerges thrashing. Its whiskers twitch as we carefully unhook it. A quick photo to capture the moment. Then back it goes slipping into the depths. The cycle repeats as night falls. Stars appear overhead. Fish continue to bite. A perfect evening on the lake.
