Old pic

[b35w]

I think I posted this years ago but came across this again tonight. Was my great-great grandfather years ago and was either caught on the Congaree or Edisto River. I wish I had the original pic to hang up in my office.

Very cool

That'd have been a good one next year.

Was his last name Flake?

My Great-Uncle Wylie,

The 2nd pic is downtown Greenwood, not sure of the year. He specialized in smoking cigarettes, catching fish, and growing tomatoes

Often wonder what it would have been like to live in “simpler” times

Brute of a rock fish!

My grandfather told me stories of the rockfish spawning "drop" on the North Edisto where Caw Caw Creek emptied in where they would wear out the 20-30 pound rockfish. Near what is now Orangeburg Country Club. He also said the sturgeon used to be so thick that they would shoot them with rifles off the bridge at the rose gardens. Hard to fathom either.

Antley's Barbecue has a 20-30 pounder mounted that they caught on a dead eel on a trotline or bush hook in the North (I think) Edisto back in the 60s or 70s.

He lived in North so could have been from that area

My Great Granddaddy Tucker at Edisto. Not sure of the date, but it was back when you dressed up to go fishing.

Or all the newfangled contraptions used to catch fish these days.

Great pictures… back from the days when men were really men.

Awesome photos!

b35W - great picture - looks like Kevin Costner.

Here's my "southern" granddad. I doubt the turkey was legal...but it just didn't matter as much back then.

Thanks for the pictures.

And thanks for the trip down memory lane with memories of fishing with my late Grandad. I was too young to remember the exact place, but he used to take me to a pond over at somewhere called like the "Wildlife Club" or "Wildlife Pond" something along those lines somewhere around Columbia. We used to take a 8' sneak boat and paddle it around. It was such a small boat that he couldn't take my brother or any of my cousins as well, it was always just me and grandad time. I learned my first curse words out there on that pond when he used to get stuck on the weeds. He had the oldest lures and rods that I learned how to fish on, I've still got his tackle box somewhere, I need to go dig it out and go catch a few fish on it after turkey season ends. Good times.

Shooting fish with a rifle is literally in your genes….��
