Best Fisherman on the Pier

16x20.  I have moved to Bayfield, Ontario for the summer.  Quite a change from Pender Island.
This morning while walking on the pier, I saw this fisherman - he had  5 very large bass suspended in the water and caught another as I walked past.  I was half way home when I realized I had to paint him, so ran back and asked his permission for a photo.  He immediately started to haul his fish out of the water, but I told him that wouldn't be necessary.
