The sun peeks over the trees. The water is calm and glassy. A boat glides along submerged timber. Rods are cast. A fish strikes. The line tightens. A beautiful white crappie breaks the surface. It fights hard. Multiple runs strip the line. The angler coaxes it closer. The net dips. The fish is aboard. A quick photo is snapped. The crappie slides into the livewell. The hunt continues. The day unfolds on Table Rock Lake. Memories are made. Laughter echoes across the water. The livewell fills with quality fish. The sun begins to set. A perfect day of fishing comes to an end.
