Photograph of Forrest Whitaker sitting in a boat and rigging up his tackle while fishing on Big Bear Lake. The boat spans the width of the foreground and extends back towards center. Wood plank seating stretches horizontally across the image. Along the bottom edge, a cushion sits at center atop a seat. Forrest Whitaker sits in the back of the boat at right.
