This 1949 photograph captures the excitement of a successful sport-fishing expedition at Playa Suave, a beach club believed to be located near Acapulco, Mexico. Two trophy sailfish hang from a display gantry as the angler poses proudly with his rod and reel, reflecting the popularity of deep-sea game fishing among American travelers to Mexico's Pacific coast in the years following World War II. The image is part of a personal photo album documenting travels associated with General Jonathan M. Wainwright. Project: 218339
