Maybe not my FIRST fish, but my first Dorado!
This was in 1966, off Cabo San Lucas... after driving our Jeep down from Tijuana... 800 miles of unpaved roads back then.

Looking at DK's photo, I too remember fishing long ago with my dad in Baja. I don't think "pangas" were around yet, they were "lanchas," not
necessarily that seaworthy, but they seemed to work. We hired a "lanchero" and headed out far from shore. I recall looking back at the coastline, hazy
in the distant fog... my feet wet and cold from the water seeping in from the bottom of the boat, the water had a slick on the surface from the fuel
leaking from the motor. However, fishing was REALLY good in those days. The fact that we had no life vests seemed like a minor inconvenience and would
have gotten in the way anyway of the fish we were hauling in. Those were my first Baja fish. They were packed in ice and placed into an ice chest my
dad made especially for the trip. We ate well.

I was 9 years old------near Independence Creek where it runs thru the little town of Independence in Owens Valley (Eastern Sierra). The City had shut
down the creek for a few hours--------I ran over to the creek and started crawling on my hands and knees down the creek bed feeling in all the nooks
and crannys and felt and grabbed a large trout and pulled it out with my hands-------it measured 15 inches long and was one of the biggest trout I
have EVER caught-------I remember it like it was yesterday.

I was knee high to a grasshopper, the city stocked the duck pond at the local park on father's day.
The first time alone in a tin boat, must of been 10, wondering can I do this all by myself. Yep I can.
And then the first time in a belly boat. Going round and round in circles.
My next first will be out of a kayak. And it will be huge. Can't wait. Now I will need to learn how to gaff.

Was back in the mid 50's, in Miami, along a canal near my house, with a cane pole, using biscuit doe, on a hair hook strung from a red and white cork
bobber, catching Brim and sometimes a Mullet or two.
We'd bring'm home and my Dad would bury them around our fruit trees (key lime, avocado, grapefruit and mango). Fantastic fertilizer!
Only later on in life did I learn that mullett fish can be pretty tasty.
Ever heard of the annual Mullett Toss at the Florabama Bar on the Florida/Alabama State line? Quite an event.

A grunt, as best I can recall. From an inlet near Sarasota, learning from my "Uncle Fish". He told me that if I threw my first one back I would
always have good luck fishing. Seems to have worked reasonably well.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.
