I was 8, fishing a slough with my dad in a 12' grumman canoe. I was fishing with my "brand new" zebco 33 rod and reel combo, dad had bought me for my birthday. I caught a 13" largemouth on a tiger striped heddon tiny torpedo. Sucker just blew up on it about 3' out from the boat. When I set the hook, I just slung him on in.

Hey Chuck!
Topwater was the only kind of fishing my dad ever did....for that matter, still does. He won't get too excited till about June and then he goes fairly regularly. I think I was about 10 before I figured out there were other baits besides something that floated for bass.

I was young, maybe 4. She wasmuch older and more experianced then me.In the back of my head Iknew aalot of guys had her before me but it didnt matter,that day she was all mine. She taughtme so much
.As Garth Brooks once sang "there has never been a summer were I ever learned that much." I cant drive past a lake without thinking of that day.
I couldnt help mey self, to tell ya the truth Icantrecall when it was. I have been fishing sinceI could cast and I cant think back that far. I do remember my first steelhead, 33in and around 15lbs, caughtit on a 5ft rod, 4lb test and a little cleo.

I honestly don't remember my first bass as I was always with my fishing grandfather from a very early age. The only "first" I guess you can say that I remember was my first bass tournament (at age 15) and my first ride in a V6 powered bassboat (14).

It was actually the first time I had bass fished.I didn't have the slightest idea what I was doing. I just happened to throw a purple 7" worm that was already rigged up on someone elses pole next to some moss one summer day last summer.AndI was just retrieving like I would a crank bait or something, didn't let it sink or anything. I got about a 13 incher, probably about a pound and a half, now that I think back to the size and shape. Maybe not though, Im not real good at weight guessing.

About 40 years ago, on a spinner bait. Caught two bass on two consecutive cast, about a pound each. I was tore up, been tore up ever since.

Despite what "they say" I don't really remember the first.
I know it would have been on a cane pole as that is the
first type I remember using. It would have been baited
with either an earth worm, grasshopper or shrimp and
it would have been in a stock pond.
My very earliest memories are of going fishing with
my family. Dad, Mom & sisters. I also have a younger
brother that was started as soon as he could hold a
pole. It was a good way to spend the day and to get
a great supper.
