hi pincher dont want to be a killjoy but it looks like a rockling to me, unless someone knows different, however a fish is a fish, congratulations on your 1st one.

 

[Scrudgy]

Indeed, it is a rockling - and this means it is the first of many species you will catch during your sea fishing.

We all start somewhere, but please keep track of all species you catch - it doesn't take long to build up an enviable list.

Well done

 

[pincher]

i remember my first fish i was about thirteen and caught a sea bass of edible size from about thirty yards off chesil using a mussel i'd found on the beach!!!
Luck or what!!!
Have only ever had one since

 

[i hate whiting]

my first sea fish was a mackeral. no surprises there. lol

 

[shrek]

my first fish was a flounder weighing just under 2lb,i was 9 at the time and it was a cold winters morning and i lost both my boots in the mud,but it didnt dishearten me,now i wear chest waders, they dont come off easy!

 

[pincher]

roll on to many more fish.Not to impressed with barb on the hook though,especially with its small mouth and the git almost swallowed it.i might have to squash the barb down a bit in future and give that a try,will keep me on my toes though.

wen i was a little lad,i used to visit my family up in skotland with mum n dad....my cuz n me fished off the wall near the docks,and my first fish was a whiting....and the next 15 or so after that lol, but i rememba it was gggreat fun and i was buzzin.............

[Fred]

My first sea fish, a beam of an estimated weight of 4ozs, foul hooked using a telescopic rod. I remember it but it is not in my diary. I have had better since, I'm glad to say.

First fish was a 6 1/2 lb Bass off Mumbles pier when I was about 12, borrowed rod hook just dropped over the side with a piece of kipper on it (yeah I know but I didn't know any better) it's still the largest bass I've caught tho

 

[Codfather2]
