The sun dips low casting a golden glow across Lake Pleasant. Our boat gently rocks on the calm water. A cool breeze carries the scent of pine from the shore. Suddenly the line goes taut. A flash of silver breaks the surface. The striped bass fights hard twisting and turning. Its sleek body glistens in the fading light. After a thrilling battle we net the prize. A beautiful 17-inch Morone Saxatilis. High fives all around. The perfect end to a perfect day on the lake.
