Fisherman at a Tavern

Image

A fisherman in a ball cap and socks is sitting on a bar stool and talking to the bartender, who is smoking a cigarette and holding a liquor bottle. His waders are strewn across the counter of the bar and a stool, and his fishing pole and creel are resting on the bar behind him. An open can of worms sits at the corner of the bar.
