Can you remember your First Fish?
« on: April 21, 2018, 03:08:19 AM »
It's been a while since that day but I remember both my eyes and my Dad's lighting up with the excitement of catching my "First Fish".

Thanks to his Mom this proud little fellows moment was captured on film and has been shared with others for years now.
 
How long has it been since you made some kid's day by taking them out fishing for the first time?

 If you don't forget to throw the camera in, you may capture a memory that will be relived each time they look at the picture of their first fish. :tup:

Not certain of my first - but fishing with a cane pole in a CA river and catching catfish is the earliest memory.  :tup:

Bluegill on a cane pole from a small farm pond outside of Dixon Missouri.  I was probably 4.  Right before I caught the blugill, I had caught a sizeable crawdad. 
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

Nope.  I remember the story though.  I was 2 or 3 and everytime I showed how big it was it got bigger.

Either a rainbow or largemouth out of my grandpa's pond near Slinger, WI.  Good times.

Yup, I wasn't long out of diapers, camping on a lake I had my pole tossed down on the rocks like any small boy would and I was ignoring it, running around throwing rocks and making a ton of racket....all the sudden my pole goes ripping off the shore line and *kerplunk* right into the water it goes.   Pops got on the small 12 aluminium boat and tried to retrieve the pole, he had a good idea where it was but couldn't hook it.   

We continue fishing...


next morning Dad has a big fish on!  He reels it in and it's got another line out of it's mouth, he pulls in the line and there's my pole!   It was a 20lb ish carp.

Some of my boldest memories as a kid was carp fishing the Milwaukee River in my home town, West Bend, WI.  That was pure fun in the summer time.  A dough ball or a hook full of corn and game on.

I still remember it..  Have put many kids and even adults on their first as well...  It's almost as fun seeing a grown man catch his first as it is a kid.
