The sun rises over Lake Travis. A boat glides across calm waters. Two anglers cast their lines. Ripples spread from where lures hit the surface. Fish dart beneath. A tug on the line. A flash of green scales. The rod bends. A struggle ensues. The fish leaps. Water sprays. Hearts race. The net reaches out. Success. A beautiful Guadalupe Bass is lifted from the water. Smiles and high fives all around. Another cast. The day is young. Adventure awaits on this Texas lake.
