Typewritten caption for this c.1952 news article reads:

"KPP292-11/1-HUTCHINSON, KANS: They laughed when Lawrence R. Gee of Hutchinson threated his fishing line thru a small drain hole in a downtown street here (left). But Gee had the last laugh (rt) when he hauled a 2-pound catfish out of the opening. Explanation: the street runs across a creek & the hole, says Gee, is the best way to fish in dark cool water underneath. Only trouble with (the) system, he says, is that if he hooks fish much larger than this one, he has to cut line as it won't come thru hole in the street. UNITED PRESS TELEPHOTO"
