A shoebox of photographs was given to the Historical Society recently. The majority were unnamed. However, we found ourselves fascinated by the candid glimpse into life during the 1930s and 1940s. So we thought we would share with you, a look at classic fish photos.

We love the high top lace up boots.

Look close on the table at what these guys are drinking with their Coca-Cola.



The first photo is labeled "4 1/2 lb caught by Hartman Aug 1928". The middle photo is merely dated "August 22 1941", and the last one is labeled "Phil Lewis Jr caught at the Rod and Gun Club 1937".
