The sun rises over Lake Pleasant. Our boat glides across the calm water. Gene casts his line into the depths. A tug on the line. He reels in a white catfish. Its whiskers twitch as we admire its sleek form. The fish measures 20 inches long. Gene carefully releases it back into the lake. We continue our journey. The early morning mist lifts. More catfish await us in these waters. Another successful day of fishing at Lake Pleasant.
