A black and white photograph of a group of seven men standing on a dock holding a fishing net. Caught fish are on the dock, in the net, and in a pile on a small boat ("V 1902") in the foreground. A younger man stands to the side and looks at the group. There are three other men and a small boy on a pier structure behind them. On the pier is a truck with a sign that reads "HIBBS FISH CO.
