DESCRIPTION

Reaching into your tackle box, you absentmindedly reach for your favorite lure. The boat gently rocks as the waves reach out to caress it. Fastening the silver spoon to your best line, you give it a tug to make sure it's tight.

Bringing your rod back, you gently arc it forward and the spoon lands right in front of the big moss-covered log and right behind the large shadow in the water. Expertly and carefully, you reel the lure in, jerking it slightly. The sun glints off the silver body as the shadow slowly begins to follow it — then, it's directly underneath it. You stop reeling and wait for a moment.

The shadow erupts from the water beneath your bait, the light shining off the wet scales of the large bass as it seems to hang in mid-air for a moment before returning to the water once again.

You jerk the rod back quickly and set the hook. The fish with your favorite spoon in its mouth feels the hook embedded in its cheek and struggles to get far away from your boat.

Suddenly, there is a loud resounding snap that fills the air. You watch helplessly as your line breaks in two and the fish escapes with your favorite lure. Cursing loudly, you mutter something about the tension on your reel and start up the motor to find a new fishing spot.
