The sun peeked through the clouds as our boat gently rocked on the Columbia River. The air was crisp and salty. We cast our lines into the water. Excitement filled the air. A tug on the line. A flash of silver. A blue runner leaped from the water. Its scales glistened in the morning light. The fish fought hard. We reeled it in carefully. The blue runner was beautiful. Its sleek body perfect for speed. We admired it briefly before releasing it back to the river. A successful catch and release. The day was just beginning. More adventures awaited us on the mighty Columbia.
