Description

Photograph, from left to right, of Charles Miles and Guy M. West standing in a deep sea bait boat and reeling in a fish, either yellow tail or sea bass, off the coast near Ocean Park. Charles Miles stands at center and holds onto a fishing line with both hands. A fish just reeled in sways from one end of the line. To Charles' right, Guy West looks on as he leans back. Both men face the camera. In front of them, crates and tarps lie in a row across the boat. At right, it seems like a man's shoulder obscures some of the image. The side of another person's body does the same at left. The ocean expands behind the scene and into the distance.
