Google.com has teamed up with Life Magazine to digitize and make available every photograph from the history of this landmark publication. You read that correctly. EVERY PHOTOGRAPH!

Or former boxing champion Max Schmelling?
Or how about this 1950s classic about a bait casting instruction seminar (check out how many people are in attendance!).
And for those more tackle-oriented, how about this great 1960s photos of the famed Lauri Rapala of Finland?
Of course, you can always spend your time googling photos like this:
So take out a few minutes and search around, you never know what you'll be able to find! The Google/Life archive can be found by clicking here.
