The sun rises over Table Rock Lake. A boat glides across the glassy surface. Two anglers cast their lines into the clear water. Submerged timber and brush piles hide beneath. A fish strikes. The rod bends. Line peels off the reel. A smallmouth bass leaps from the water. Bronze scales glisten in the morning light. The fish dives. The angler reels. The net dips. A trophy is landed. Smiles and high-fives all around. Another cast. The cycle begins anew. Nature's beauty surrounds them.
