The sun rises over High Rock Lake. A boat glides across the water. Two fishermen cast their lines. The air is crisp. Suddenly a rod bends. A blue catfish fights. It leaps and splashes. The fisherman reels. The fish dives. The battle continues. Finally the net scoops it up. A 32-inch beauty. Smiles and high fives. A perfect morning on the lake. The catfish swims free. Another cast. Another adventure awaits.
