The Rich And/Or Famous Who Fished With Jim

Previous posts on this site have focused on the rich and/or famous people who fished with Jimmy Gilbert, including Oscar Peterson and John Diefenbaker.

Other images of Dief the Chief may be found here:  https://saanichinletangling.blogspot.com/2018/07/dief-chief-fishes-with-jim.html.

Here is Gordie Howe scoring big time fishing with Jim. I am guessing this is winter as the left hand fish are roughly blueback size (coho, likely from the Cowichan), while the fish on the right look right for winter chinook of 2 to 3 years old.

And Lester Pearson came along to nab a few with Jimmy.

And the about to become famous (he was already rich) Vice President George, HW, Bush was lucky enough to meet the great man himself, Jimmy Gilbert. I believe this was shot at Rivers Inlet.

And some more images of Diefenbaker, this one steely eyed, sort of, and focused on reeling in the big one. As we all know, the big ones, get bigger, based on the amount of time after they have been brought on board, into months thereafter. Fishermen are not liars, they simply accommodate the time-honoured tradition of scaling up their fish, knowing other fishermen will scale them back to the original size, meaning before time made them grow.

And when there is a double header, even the aide to the Chief gets to reel in a fish.

The following image of Dief made Time magazine, in an article about Canadian federal politics, along with Pearson. I wonder if Dief chided Lester about how many fish the Chief caught and thus out-fished another Prime Minister?
