Congrats! You never forget your first. Mine came while shore fishing a spillway using a Rat-L-Trap. A father and his son were fishing the same spot catching a few bass when I hooked up. I think the kid was more excited than me, he had no idea fish got so big since a 20# baby tarpon is a monster compared to a 2# bass. Crazy part was the week before I paid a guide in the Keyes to put me on tarpon but we struck out. I told a co-worker this sad story and he suggested I give the old spillway a try. Then I managed another “first” getting a tarpon on my own boat while night fishing down in Miami. I remember my first red down in Flamingo. After searching for what felt like forever over multiple trips we found them in muddy potholes and caught 6 with ease. That opened the floor gates and I caught many reds on multiple trips since. Turns out you just got to get that one to break the ice and boost your confidence.
