Rodger Cook and Richard Reckeweg Collecting Fish at Point Lookout, Maryland, for the National Aquarium, 1960s

View taken from the shallow portion of the water along a sandy, beach-like shoreline, showing two men, each holding the end of a long rectangular net (which features floats along it's length, as well as wooden poles at each end for holding), in the act of pulling the net ashore (the center part of the net is the furthest into the water) in order to collect fish. Both men wear wading pants. Just beyond the sandy shore is a line of trees.
