The sun glints off the water. Waves lap against the boat. A flash of blue and silver breaks the surface. The sailfish leaps high its dorsal fin unfurled like a banner. It dives back down creating a splash. The line goes taut. The fight begins. The angler braces against the rail. The reel screams as line peels off. The captain maneuvers the boat. Everyone watches in awe. This majestic creature dances across the sea. Its bill slashes through the air. Another leap. Another dive. The battle continues. Eventually the sailfish tires. It comes alongside the boat. A quick photo. Then release. The sailfish swims away. Free once more. A memory to last a lifetime.
