Description

Photograph, from left to right, of Charles Miles, Guy M. West and an unidentified man posing with a fish while fishing off the coast near Ocean Park. Guy M. West stands at the back end of the boat, left-of-center. He smiles and looks to the camera as he holds up a line with a large fish hanging off of it. Charles Miles (left) and the other man (right) flank Guy and are nearer to camera. Both are out-of-focus and are in partial view from the chest and up. Charles Miles turns his head towards the camera in the lower left corner and the other man does the same from the lower right corner. The ocean extends behind them and into the distance. A strip of land stretches across the horizon in the far distance.
