The photo on the left was taken by my big brother, Dick, in the spring of 1955 (late April, early May). I am holding a Northern Pike that he speared in the creek behind Grandpa and Grandma's house.
The photo on the right was taken a few days ago by my friend Wes. I am holding a Chinook Salmon I caught while fishing from his boat in White Lake.
I have the same goofy smile, but the hat covers my serious loss of hair over the past 57 years. About three years after I posed for the photo on the left, I began wearing glasses. Note also, the similar appreciation in haberdashery between then and now.
I don't recall fishing again until I was in my early twenties when I took up fly-fishing and it became a consuming hobby.
Just love this shot and all the others as well. thanks for sharing your awesome talents.
ReplyDeleteCute! Both of you ! LOL! I must admit the hat is where it's at! ;-) I want to know if you were up before dawn to get that Salmon! Cheers!
