Happy couple with bolt action rifle taking aim at something across the St. Johns River. How I wish Loyd left a note telling us the story behind this photo! I guess we are free to let our imaginations run wild…

Catch Of The Day

No information with the original print but I’m guessing this stylish fisherman was photographed in the late 1940’s. Nice Tarpon!
