The sun rises over Port Aransas. Waves lap gently against our boat. The air is crisp and salty. We cast our lines into the brackish waters. A tug on the line. A flash of silver beneath the surface. The Black Drum fights hard. We reel it in slowly. The fish breaks the surface. Its dark scales glisten in the morning light. We net it carefully. A fine catch to start the day. The drum measures seventeen inches. A testament to the thriving marine life here. We admire its beauty before releasing it back to the sea. The adventure continues as we drift along seeking our next catch.
