The sun beats down on the deck. Waves lap against the hull. A flash of silver catches my eye. An African Pompano breaks the surface. Its streamlined body glistens in the light. The fish darts and weaves. Our lines go taut. The reel screams as it runs. We hold on tight. The fight is intense. Muscles strain. The fish tires. We bring it closer. Its large eyes gleam. We net it carefully. A beautiful catch. A memory to cherish. The perfect end to our day on the water.
