Laying on a dock somewhere on Winnipisaukee using bologna and a hook I caught fish after fish after fish one weekend when I was 5. I rememeber watching each fish swim up to the hook and bite the bait. Chrystal clear water made watching quite easy.

I don't remember my very first, but I remember my first big fish like yesterday. I was 10, camping with my dad and some friends in FL. The water was brackish but there were more LMB's than anything else. I don't remember the rod other than it being 14lb test and the bait was a rubber worm. I was in the back of the canoe and after a few ours I decided to take a rest. I figured I'd just troll to have a line in the water as my dads friend fished on the bow. I put my rod down and the second I open a can of coke the rod get slammed. We proceeded to get towed around backwards for what seemed like forever. I finally got the fish along side and we struggled to get her onboard without rolling the canoe. Once we got it in, it was the biggest snook either of us had ever seen. He had a yard stick to measure fish and it was a yard stick and a half. He said it had to be over 50lbs... Lucky for her season was closed and back she went. I'll never forget it!

Big fish wants pics so here's my oldest son with his first ever fish. It was a few days before his 2nd birthday
