First Catch

Pc-fishing
Titled “His First Catch,” this photo by Burch Grabill was taken in 1910. The details of this photograph are worth noting. Dressed in fringed leather fishing gear and sporting a new rod and reel, the young boy carries the catch of the day, a bass nearly as big as he is. A rail fence on the far side of the pond gives a hint of how picturesque the rolling fields surrounding Fayetteville were at the time. This card was postally unused.
