Glad the first installment was liked, ran outta bathing beauties, but you gotta love a baseball player with a name like Dazzy Vance.

(He even had his own lure co.)

Zane was the man back in the day.

OK we're getting to near the bottom of the barrel here cause these folks aren't famous, except for the four surfcasters who are probably legends in their home town

Sadly all good things must come to an end, but this has got to be the coolest lure I've ever seen.

The third guy from the left with the Surfcasters could pass for Robert Redford. The other three look like posers to me.

Too funny!!!

I think he looks more like a distant Kennedy relative, the guy next to him looks like he might have arthritis of the shoulder, the pipe guy really does look like the poser

, but the dude between Robert Redford and the pipe guy looks like he'd whoop yer butt for being in his fishing spot.

Have any of you guys visited the IGFA hall of game in Fort Lauderdale/Dania Beach, FL?
I think I remember some cool historic pics and old Zane Grey Ira big game reels. Wish I would've taken some pics.

Here's a link:

Yeah loads of cool antique fishing everything at the fishing museum. The bass pro next door was the closest one to me until a few months back when I moved to Tampa. I caught my only Marlin ever on one of their simulators and we saw our first florida gators there. The old reels, lures, boat motors, and even the sport fisher in the back pond make it must go if your in the area.
