The sun glints off the water. Our boat gently rocks. A redfish surfaces nearby. Its scales shimmer in the light. The air is salty and warm. Seagulls cry overhead. The fishing line tenses. There's a tug. The fight begins. The redfish dives and turns. It's strong. The rod bends. Muscles strain. Slowly it tires. We bring it closer. It's a beauty. We net it carefully. A perfect catch. Memories are made. The sea keeps its secrets. But today we share in its bounty. The redfish is admired then released. It swims away. Another day on Matagorda Bay.
