Hi J,
You're sure right about beginners luck! One of my immutable laws of angling is "your odds of catching a big fish are inversely proportional to how much you actually deserve it!"
My first fish occurred at age 3 while ice fishing with my dad. It was a small sunfish. And yes, I still remember it in some detail. A homemade carved balsa bobber going down (it was orange) and me windmilling line hand over hand and being so excited I accidentally was letting it fall on top of the wood stove, where, of course, it immediately melted.
I did catch the fish though, but my dad had to re-rig everything.
best,
L
