Striper caught....

[John H]

......In 1960.

A friend of mine found this going through some old photos. I am guessing it is around 1960. He thinks it is on San Pablo Bay somewhere. Looks like it could be. It is interesting to see how things were done in the past. The guy is sporting a tie and has a fat wallet in his back pocket. Maybe he went to church in the morning and fishing in the afternoon and never took the tie off. The shoreline looks like broken up ceramic dishes maybe placed there for erosion protection. You can see plates and cups. There is a rusty metal tackle box and a rod on the ground. The guy behind him has a can of chewing tobacco in his front pocket and appears to be envious of the big fish. That never changes. The sun is straight up like it is May or June. I think they got a lot of big stripers back in the day. Could be a 15 pounder.

Any insight would be appreciated.
