My grandfathers dairy farm had a pond. But after many tries of casting my line and bobber with a worm for bait. My first catch was a Snapping Turtle.
Sorry no fish were taken that day.

My first fish was a tomcod on San Clemente Pier in 64. My Dad could cast underhand with an open face reel. I still can't do that without a backlash.
I put the fish in a clogged up drinking fountain on the pier. Two kicks later that fish earned his freedom and i laughed with my dad. Luckily we
caught one more that we could take home to show Mom. Great memories in this thread.

A very moving story, for sure.
But a better ending would have been with grandpa and grandma adding to the rose bush also.

Juneau AK Silver salmon....I wouldn't even touch it..Made dad put a stick through the mouth before posing for the photo. I can't remeber catching the
fish much. But I do remember finding a bunch of money on the bank and 100's of lures in the trees.

uh i was about ten or so and had a stick with a piece of fishing wire and a hook on it i held it over a small waterfall and was excited when i felt
something on my line. I pulled it in and discovered it was a rock! I ran to my family and friends and showed them my prey! And we all had a good
laugh!

I dont remember the fish, but I know who I caught it with. Here's me and Grandpa Al on the Goleta pier in 1970. We used to fish the Santa Barbara pier
and Lake Cachuma too. Good times.
No worries
