Title: Vintage fishing photo proves time travel.
Post by: Cuttyhunker on December 23, 2020, 02:49:23 PM
Visiting Reelytime down here in the sunshine state, I found him tackling a very big Ocean City that remembers Roosevelt's (the second one) first term.  At some point in the distant past the old girl had apparently hit a hard floor or deck resulting in a small "dogleg" as Randy described it in the bridge sleeve.  We brainstormed some ideas to straighten it out and avoid turning it into an S-curve.  We parted with the thought of rather than (probably) screwing up the bridge with stone axe and bear skin tactics that a canvas of the big boy collectors here may turn one up. What a surprise that I soon had a text that the King, Bullseye54, had one in his platoons of parts bins.  Now I've told you all that so I can tell you this.  Being in the 1930's frame of mind I recalled and mentioned that I had a vintage Tommy Gifford photo, I think downloaded fro Ed Prichard's site.
Clearly the angler in the dory, with Tommy on the right, is none other than Corporal Max Klinger, in full drag.
I told Reelytime I email it to him but have decided this is too monumental to Keep only here in Florida so now I humbly present it for your inspection and comment.  Time travel is real!!

Looks like a swordfish and a gigantic cane rod.  They could have towed the Queen Mary.

Great picture, I bet they had to distribute there weight, when that fish had pressure on the drag, not the biggest of boats, thanks for posting, cheers Don.
