fish and fishing techniques in Tennessee lakes and rivers - old photos

[Muskrat]

Fish and fishing related pics and techniques in some Tennessee rivers and lakes over the years. The crappie condos were easier to find but I see some folks were just tossin' a mess of fish in their car trunks and using folding chairs in boats - argh ! Thank goodness styrofoam coolers started showing up in 1957. It looked like some of the early licenses were "pins"...better where a shirt ! Pic heavy...

Great contribution! The dynamite one especially made me laugh, and I found the picture with the young boy holding a fish as big as he was enjoyable. Its interesting to see what people used to do and how they used to do it.
