The sun rises over Lake Lanier. A boat glides across calm waters. Five anglers cast their lines. Rods bend as fish strike. A largemouth bass breaks the surface. It thrashes and dives. The angler fights to reel it in. Muscles strain. The fish tires. A net swoops down. The bass is landed. Cheers erupt. Photos are taken. The bass is released. It swims away. Another cast. The hunt continues. Lake Lanier teems with life.
