The boat rocked gently on the waves. We cast our lines into the deep blue water. The sun warmed our faces as we waited patiently. Suddenly a rod bent double. A silver flash broke the surface. A Coho salmon leapt and thrashed. The fight was on. We reeled carefully keeping tension on the line. The fish dove and ran. Our arms ached from the struggle. Finally we brought it alongside. With a swift net we landed our prize. Its scales shimmered in the sunlight. A perfect specimen of Oncorhynchus kisutch. We admired its beauty before carefully releasing it back to the depths.
