Description
Photographic portrait of a woman standing near a giant fish, 1930-1940. The woman is at right and is holding a long, thin, fishing pole in her hands. She is wearing a dark dress and a matching dark hat. The fish, probably a sea bass, is hung by its gills at left and is taller than the woman. Written on the tail of the animal is its weight: 363 lbs. The woman and the fish are standing on a rocky beach with several small boats visible in the background.
