The sun rose over Lake Murray. Fishermen readied their gear. The boat engine hummed. Lines were cast into the calm water. Anticipation filled the air. Suddenly a rod bent. A striped bass fought hard. It leaped and splashed. The fisherman reeled skillfully. The fish was netted. Cheers erupted. Photos were taken. The prized catch glistened in the morning light. Another successful day on Lake Murray.
