This thread is for the first fish of the species you have caught using an artificial lure or jig.

my first snook ever. caught on a terror eyz from john lloyd park on the fourth of july.

Fn'C--Way to go on your first Snook. He's a little guy, but a Snook is a Snook. My first, way back in the day, I was a teen, was a little guy like that. I remember it like it was yesterday. They'll be many more to come.

i hope so! thanks a lot sm

Fn'C--By the way. A DOA Terror Eyz is one of my go to arti's in the surf for Snook and Redfish. Caught my first beach Snook and Redfish on a greenback colored one same day off the beach in Captiva years ago.

thats good to know because redfish is my next target spiecies. i have caught one before but it was like 8 inches on a live shrimp from naples pier. when i went to naples the time before last there was a big school of reds right off the pier but all i had with me was mt pompano rod with a doc's goofy jig.

First red drum. Caught at Fort DeSoto park around 1 am Easter weekend, wading in the flats.

Nice one Drago...still hunting for my first Red

1/2 oz bucktail, mh, 4000 stradic, first ever from shore.

PermZilla. Nice Catch on whatever you used.

Was this recent?? Nice permit!!

Caught it a few days.....I chased it down on foot about 275 yds.

What a beautiful permit man amazing! ! I know that made your night!!

You bet it did. My first permit from shore, I have never fished for them and I wasn't this time either. The strike was pure luck, I've casted in that same area many thousand of times over 9 years.
