The line drapes across the water.

The black, cold, water.

I stand on the bank.

With nothing but a pole.

My grip stays strong.

I reel in slowly.

As my crankbait cuts through the water.

It slices through like a hot knife to butter.

Then suddenly the line runs.

The drag clicks as it begins releasing line.

The pole bends dramatically.

The line zigs and zags in the water.

I reel in.

Quickly, but careful not to break the line.

We fight a long fight.

Until he gives in.

My trophy is in my hands.

A win undoubtedly.

I enjoy fishing and this piece of writing came natural to me.
