The sun rises over Jacksonville. The boat engine hums. Waves lap against the hull. Rods are prepared. Bait is set. The first cast breaks the water's surface. A tug on the line. The fight begins. A flash of red beneath the waves. The net is readied. A magnificent Red Snapper breaks the surface. It's quickly measured. Thirty-six inches of beauty. Photos are taken. The fish is released. Smiles all around. Another cast. The day continues. Fish after fish. The sun climbs higher. Memories are made. Laughter fills the air. A perfect day on the water.
