Scope and content
Thirteen year old Bud Hopkins, weighing in at 75 lbs., and his catch, a 60 lb. ling cod, were photographed on June 21, 1937 in front of the Vandes Company, 115 So. 10th. Bud was fishing in the Narrows for salmon, using a herring for bait, a 2-0 hook, a ten cent bamboo pole discarded by another fisherman and a "decrepit" line. Although it was not the salmon he was expecting, Bud was very happy with his enormous catch. The Vandes Co. was a manufacturer and importer of fishing equipment. Photograph ordered by Mr. Metcalf at the Times. (T. Times 6/22/1937, pg. 13).
