What type of fish did you first catch?

[daffy]

Mine was a Brook Trout when I was 7. My dad was not much of a fisherman, we were camped at Halfmoon Lake near Pinedale WY. My brother and I were bored of trying the lake and not catching anything, My dad's tackle box had some things that were called Trout Nibbles (macaroni and cheese ? all dried out in a plastic container) marshmallows and various rusty lures, we walked up the hill where Pole Creek comes off the hill into the lake. There were these guys up there fishing, putting something on thier hooks and pulling out these little fish. I was younger than my brother, but much less shy. I walked up and asked one of the guys what they were catching them on, he said "night crawlers." "oh ok," I said, "what is a night crawler?" I asked. "worms," the guy said... "Worms! Cool I know what they are!!!" The guy pulled out his cigarette pack and put a half a dozen night crawlers in the cellophane... "here kid go get you some fish!"
And I did get some fish! I owe that guy so much... Still to this day when I see a kid or another person not catching anything, or asking me questions about what they are biting on, I do my best to put them on a fish!
Yea my first fish was a Brook Trout...
