The sun beats down on the deck. Waves lap against the hull. A fisherman stands ready rod in hand. The line tenses. A mighty black drum breaks the surface. Its scales shimmer in the light. The fish thrashes wildly. The angler braces against the rail. Sweat beads on his brow. He reels steadily. The fish circles the boat. Finally it tires. The net dips into the water. Success. A prized catch secured.
