Bullheads out of my Uncle's sandpit. I was a teenager before I caught my first Bluegill out of an Interstate lake. Charlie

Walleye or sauger. I cant remember. I grew up in a commercial fishing family and have been angling since I was knee high to Dad. When I was very young, 6 maybe, I could hand over hand pull a fish in through the ice. Dad taught us that. And to not tangle the line up just because it's exciting, it's, after all, just a fish.

Central Stoneroller, 1957 or 1958. Grand River, Mi. Also, on the same day, I saw my first Porcupine.

My first fish was a sucker caught in a small creek with a pole made from a dead dried up horse weed.

I remember my first fishing pole. two piece bamboo pole, no reel. caught a lot of fish with it. don't remember getting it or my first fish. was probably just old enough to hold it up. when I was 9 I got a brand new fiberglass casting rod with a zebco 202 on it. caught a lot of fish with it too. first fish I ever caught on a artificial bait was with that fiberglass rod and zebco reel. caught a german brown trout on a spinner called a yellow shyster. I remember that day I wonder how many fish have been caught with a Zebco 202, and how many of those things have been made? I don't remember my first fish, but I do remember my first rod and reel was the 202.

Very big carp. Pulled me around the bank, fun fish. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Horned chub from a creek that ran thru my grandparent's farm. Caught the odd rainbow in there also but chub would have been the first.
edit: actually now that I googled it I would say it was a horned Dace("creek chub")

I don't remember my first fish, but I do remember my first rod and reel was the 202. My first while fishing was with a cane pole, but my first "real" rod and reel was the venerated 202. I believe the Zebco 202 was , without a doubt, one of the best bang for your buck outfits in the entire fishing market! You used to be able to buy the darn reels for $2-$3.
