Okay..I caught my 1st striper in Eastham at the herring run when I was about 13 or 14...I went over to the river empyting into the bay and picked up a herring,put it on the hook and cast it out..Had my brand new waders on from Goose Hummock and a brand new rod and reel I got for my birthday..I put the rod in my 12 inch spike and went roaming the beach..All of a sudden I heard a plop..Look over and my rod was gone..^&&t..Parents are gonna kill me..I waded out in the water and I could the line my rod made while going towards the old target ship....Well I made the trek back to the cottage and told my parents what happened..They werent to happy..
We went church (sunday) amd came back home..By them the tide was going out..If you know thye area the tide goes out for about a mile..I went back down to the beach and started walkng out..
I l;ooked out and in one of the tidal pools I saw a splash..Yup..I got my 1st striper and also got my rod..
The looks I got walking down the beach at low tide carrying rod and striper were priceless..

I'm going where I'm going...

Any time that I got to or get to fish with my daughters.

Greatest almost fishing moment was today when I to Maine to see my 9 1/2 month old grandson and took him to the fish tank at Cabelas. He looked at he fish with his eyes wide open and said his first word in front of Papa it was "fish". I looked at him and the lady next to me looked at him and he pointed and said it again. He is well on his way.

All are good stories guys, thanks for sharing.
My most recent "greatest moment" was fishing last year with my girlfriend on her Birthday. I built her her own 7' rod and she put it to good use. She got the only keeper of the day, and she cleaned it herself when we got home. It's a great memory, she still gloats when she sees the pic.
