Big Game Fishing Reel Photo - Fish on

Neat old action image of a fisherman in a fighting chair battling a large fish. Look at the size of that huge vintage saltwater reel. I wonder what big gamefish was on the other end of his line, a Tarpon, Tuna, Marlin or Billfish ? Reels aren't my strong suit. Anyone know who made the reel? Vom Hofe, Otto Zwarg maybe?
