The sun rises over Table Rock Lake. A boat glides across calm waters. Two anglers cast their lines near submerged timber. Excitement builds as a rod bends. A smallmouth bass breaks the surface. Its bronze scales glisten in the morning light. The fish dives and fights. The angler reels steadily. Finally the bass comes alongside the boat. A quick photo captures the moment. The fish is released back into the clear depths. Smiles and high-fives all around. Another cast. The day is young. More adventures await on this beautiful Ozark lake.
