The sun glints off the calm surface of Table Rock Lake. Our boat glides silently through the water. Submerged timber and brush piles loom beneath us. The air is crisp and cool. Birds chirp in the distance. Suddenly the line goes taut. A smallmouth bass breaks the surface. It thrashes and dives. The fight is on. The rod bends. Line peels off the reel. After a tense battle the fish is in the net. Its bronze scales shimmer in the morning light. A quick photo and release. The smallmouth disappears back into the depths. Another cast. The excitement builds. What will the next catch bring.
