In the Northland, catching your first fish is a milestone akin to taking your first steps or taking your first drive behind the wheel of the family car.
Families and friends cheer and take photographs. The tale of your catch becomes part of family history.
Tell us about your son or daughter's first fish. Tell us about your own first fish. Tell us about your spouse or girlfriend's first fish.
Where did it happen? How did it happen? Photos? All the better.
We'll share first-fish tales in Northern Angler, our annual preview to the fishing season, on April 29.
