The sun glints off the water. Waves lap gently against the boat. A fisherman casts his line. The rod bends. A flash of silver breaks the surface. The walleye fights hard. The fisherman reels steadily. The net dips. Success. The walleye measures 19 inches. A perfect catch. Smiles all around. Another cast. The day is young. More fish await. Lake Superior delivers again.
