My Pops with the catch of the day. Guessing that was fishing on the river at Bullhead City. His boat is the one of the left of the pic.......the "Fiskeren" Fish getter in Danish.

Just noticed that the power upgrade to the Fiskeren is shown in the pix. Boat started out as a 15' plywood boat built in San Pedro CA.. Original power was a 12 hp Hyawatha outboard. Soon, Pops added a second 12 hp Hyawatha (shown in pic #2). Then the real upgrade.....he sold the 2-12's and hung a 35 Mercury on the stern! Think about it in percent of increase....24 to 35! HaHa!

I can recall being out fishing/boating back to about 5 or 6 years of age.......Bullhead City and/or Cottonwood Cove.
