Angler holding large largemouth bass on boat in calm lake with clear blue sky at 2601 Cody Ave

The sun rises over Lake Travis. Charlie and his guide set out on a clear fall morning. The boat glides across calm waters. Rods are rigged with lures. They cast near rocky structures. A splash breaks the silence. Charlie's rod bends. He reels in a fighting largemouth bass. The fish leaps from the water. It dives deep. Charlie works the rod. The guide readies the net. Finally the bass is landed. They admire its size before a quick release. More casts are made. The day continues with more bass caught. The sun climbs higher. Charlie grins with satisfaction. It's been a successful morning on Lake Travis.
