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.

I'm close to buying my first kayak, hopefully, a Hobie tandem. Looking for a good fishing yak for me and my son. So far, we've been surf fishing and float tube fishing. My son loves it!

Kids Fishing... awesome!

My middle girl (7) is a bit too much of a princess, but hopefully, my youngest girl (5) will grow up with the bug!

My dad wasn't a big outdoorsman, but my uncle was. He bought me a rod and reel when I was 7 or 8. Then badgered my dad until he took me fishing. First trip was to campland in mission bay for a weekend. Only thing I caught was an octopus. My parents bought my sister a rod and she caught a 20" halibut. Didn't return to salt water for 8 years. turns out dad gets sea sick. fished lots of lakes all over california. When iwas old enough to go out on 1/2 day boats on my own i was hooked. I started my son fishing when he was 4 or 5, I have a great picture of his first barri on a 1/2 day trip when he was 7. I remember how stoked I was when he caught his first yellowfin all on his own and how happy he was. Fishing with him is and always will be one my great joys in life.
