Review: The big one got away...

Once I got used to the prose in which this short story was written (very much like a screenplay), the plot thickened quickly.  What started out as a leisurely day of fishing ended in an unexpected and bizarre fashion.  The ending left me hanging and questioning, "Is that it?"  I admit, I slid my fingers across my tablet screen a few times believing or hoping there was surely more to the story.  Erik Gustafson gave himself a great segue for a follow-on story, I hope, because this felt more like reading a prologue.
