Earliest Fishing Memory: 

When I was young, probably 5 years old I was fishing in a small pond in Georgia with my dad.  I remember being on a wooden dock and fishing for perch.  I hung a bare hook in the water and was completely amazed when I caught a perch with no bait.  Moments later, a man across the pond yelled out in frustration because he had hooked an alligator.  I was afraid to swim in any pond for years because I assumed they all had alligators. 

Favorite Fishing Story:  

Not my catch, but my dads.  When I was little we went to an island of the coast of Georgia with the boy scouts.  We were swimming in the ocean and my dad was seine fishing about 30 yards away from us.  He pulled in a 5 foot shark. And this also made me assume that all water had sharks in it for years.
