The most important fish of a lifetime. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I remember my first fishing pole, same time frame. It was a cane pole ith a cork bobber on it. My dad took my brother and I out in the 'glades along the drainage canals. He would use a fly rod to catch bass and huge bluegill while we went down the bank with our cane poles and worms.

I guess it stuck. I am trying to get my grandkids hooked up in the sport these days.

What a nice post. I also do not remember my first catch but I do remember my daughter's first real catch. She's now 17 years old and the days have flown by. She never picked up the sport but we both clearly remember and talk about this moment. A real treasure picture for me...

My first rod/reel was purchased from "Blue Chip Stamps" (anyone remember those?) Well that was 42 long years ago and i still have the setup. Can't remember the first fish but I know it was on the same rod, I was five at the time

Nice post... Last week I was going thrOugh my old fishing stuff and found my first fishing pole. Its a chartreuse fiberglass rod with a pushbutton reel. I may refurbish it and try to catch some bass again.

My avatar is my daughters first fish, cranked it through the surf all by herself at 2 and a half years old..that's a fish I'll never forget.

I take kids fishing when the chance arises, no better feeling watching those kids catch a fish! This little boy and girl have gone on to catch dorado and sailfish(mostly on their own) in the last couple of years. The boy here in this pic can actually run my boat now(with alittle guidence of course)......

No kids of my own, but I love to support both kids and other deserving groups getting out on the water.
