Antique fishing gear, vintage photographs, paintings and memorabilia will deal with the evolution of sportfishing from the early years when ocean anglers such as Charles Frederick Holder and Zane Grey helped establish salt-water fishing as a sport, through the Golden Years when anglers discovered new fishing grounds and developed, through trial and error increasingly sophisticated techniques and tackle catching and landing the "big ones".
