I caught my first fish!!

[Lux604]

what might be a very small feat for some, is HUGE for me!

I went for trout and pulled out a perch!

I caught my first fish ever last night! I was mid-sentence when the pic was taken so be kind! ha ha!

Cheers

Awesome! Doesn't really matter how big the fish are, as long as you're having fun!

Beauty!

Are your sure that's a perch and not a peacock bass?
Great looking fish! :47b20s0:

[Stinky Buffalo]

Nicely done! Congrats!

[Kurt505]

Ha! That's great. Don't feel bad about the facial expression, I've been fishing for about 40yrs and still get a goofy smile on my face when I catch a fish.

Congrats!!!

First fish is always fun no matter what bites. Congrats, many more to come.

Nice perch. The sport of fishing has so many enjoyable moments. The wildlife- like watching Ospreys fishing on the same lake, and many other animal species while at the lake. Your persistence will pay off with a lot of trout soon. Thanks for posting.

The look says it all...congrats.

Nice striped trout :)...That is a good first one! They taste better anyways.

[DiabeticKripple]

That's actually a respectable perch.

Nice catch!

[Lux604]

You'll always remember your first. I caught my first fish.....a catfish.. 67 years ago and can still hear the crickets and smell the evening air.:)

Well, I caught the smallest trout of the day, thank goodness it was an easy and quick release back into the water and away her went!

Went out to east pit for 6:00am. We went to the north shore, however we watched a guy on the south shore pull 13 out of the lake before we caught our first fish 5 hours later between the three of us that went! (Mind you he was able to cast about 4x's as far as I could!) I had a bunch of bites and my bait stolen more then should be legal. But I could literally go fishing ever week! I love this hobby, now to start slowly building my tackle box!!

Lakes like East pit I find are very good for fly fishing. I have not become capable of using a "fly rod", but a float (acting as a strike indicator) about 4-6 ft from a fly- Green or black leeches work great. Maintain your persistence and you will be rewarded. There are very nice sized trout in East pit.

Well done!

And it is hard to catch perch from that pond.

You know it's a female member when you see 27 posts on a "first fish" thread :scared0018:

That's a nice perch! Congrats :)

[outdoors forever]

You can catch a thousand fish and you still will want to go more! :)

Congrats on a couple little fishes. Keep fishing!

Be careful, that's the sort of behavior that can get you HOOKED. Great job!
