Description

Photograph of Glen Velzy standing on the beach in Newport Beach while holding a fish and posing with fish he and H. H. West caught. Glen stands right-of-center and looks to camera. At right he holds a fish by its tail and in the other he holds what appears to be a decoy(?). Behind and to the left of him, a couple of crates are stacked up and support a wooden plank that stretches horizontally out-of-frame at left. From the plank, about a dozen or so fish hang. Up from the beach, a car is parked at far left and a house stands at far right. Telephone poles and lines stretch across the background.
