An angler wearing a pink shirt, khaki shorts and a wide-brimmed hat stands knee-deep in the surf on a rocky shoreline, holding up a silvery, deep-bodied fish by the tail wrist. White water from breaking waves washes around the rocks and his legs, with a calm blue sea and pale sky behind. The fish has a compressed body, a strongly forked tail and dark-edged fins, consistent with a permit. It was caught on shrimp and released.
