Photograph, from front to back, of Agnes Whitaker and Forrest Whitaker fishing from a boat on Big Bear Lake. The camera looks down on them slightly. Their boat sits left-of-center and extends straight back into the image. Agnes Whitaker sits in the foreground at left on a wood seat that spans the width of the boat. Her back is to the camera and she faces slightly right as she holds a fishing rod out over the right side of the boat. Forrest Whitaker sits behind and to the left of her. He is partially obscured by Agnes and faces right. Big Bear Lake extends beyond their boat and into the distance. A low mountain stands in the background at center.
