Here's the photo of Joe, Fred and the record setting flathead....
Below is what that same photo looked like before and after I colorized and edited it. I was guessing on the color of Joe and Fred's clothing. I figured that Fred (my dad) was just back from the Army, so I gave him a green shirt. I also took out the window. I did this mainly because I didn't want to colorize everything showing through the window, but it turned out making the photo look much better. Please let me know what you think of the new and improved color photo by e-mailing me at derekbaze@mindspring.com. I hope everyone likes the improvement. The larger version of the original black and white photo can be found on the Iowa State Record page.
And then here's the photo with Lake Ellis added to the background....
Here's Joe on the day he found out he was the official record holder....
These are photos of the reel, hook, and gaff hook that caught the record catfish....
Here's a photo copied from an old slide found after Joe passed away... we're not sure which catfish this is... but it's another big one....
Here's the two photos taken by Don Hixson.
There are a few more photos on the Newspapers and Magazines page within the copies of the articles.
Here is a list of photos that we're looking for. This list is mainly for family or friends that may have copies or originals of the items we're looking for. If you have any of these or know where we can get copies of them, please e-mail Derek at derekbaze@mindspring.com.
