The sun glints off the calm waters of Mobile Bay. Our boat gently rocks as we cast our lines. A spotted weakfish tugs at the bait. I feel the weight and excitement builds. The fish breaks the surface its silver scales shimmering. It's a beauty about 20 inches long. We admire its distinctive spots before carefully releasing it back into the water. The day is perfect for fishing. Seabirds circle overhead as we continue our peaceful day on the water.
