Fishermen use a car to catch fish: Vintage video

They did things a little different in the 1930s. Thanks to an old film from that era, we discover just how different the fishing was for some people who didn't care about their cars or how they "smelt" after fishing. This black-and-white film from the 1930s is, well, just watch as these fishermen -- one, an editor of Outdoor Life magazine -- use the car to catch a ton of smelt:





We don't know anything about the film other than what the YouTube poster said: "Teach a man to fish and give him a Chevrolet car. Funny old 1930s film of using a car to fish."

OK everybody, let's sing that ever popular advertising jingle: "See the USA in a Chevrolet...but never mind the slippery, silvery, slimy backseat drivers."

Or something like that.
