Your first fish
8/5/2007 12:10:05 AM
Well ,my first fish was a small perch caught in a small lake in Michigan, at appx age 5.
I named him Ralph. I'm not sure why, it just seemed like a good name.
The next fish I caught, the small king salmon seen below, was more than 10 years later, this time in Little Traverse Bay, still in Michigan. I hooked up not 5 minutes off the pier, but caught the baby of the bunch. My brother caught a big boy 30+ lbs. It was delicious
Fast forward 4 years, I was a striper fishing machine in the Delaware River.
Now I'm a self proclaimed redfish hunter in Texas.
Go figure.

my first was a bream caught in a canal with my dad using bread for bait. I too was no more than 5 or so.

that's a good sized trout!
I have no idea what my first one was, I was pretty young. Probably a bullhead or bluegill.

dad said it was a bluegill. i hauled that poor thing around on a stringer forever, then we went to what i called a cliff at the time to release him. the poor guy hit the ground right by the water.
dad told me later that his mom came to get him and he was fine. i believed that for a while, too...
i was about 5 or so. a very memorable time i guess.
