The first fish I ever caught on an artificial lure was a crappie. It hit a Hildebrandt black and yellow spinner bait cast from a green metal Johnson Century reel mounted on a solid fiberglass rod with a cork handle.
It was about this time of the year, a crisp morning followed by a warm afternoon. And it was a keeper. Yes, I forget important things, but I remember this.
After having spent what seemed like a lifetime watching mealworms under bobbers while my dad cast interesting lures and caught bigger fish, I felt like I had graduated to the advanced class.
Crappie started as and still are one of my favorite fish. You can read my complete article here:

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife has used that to anglers’ advantage, creating numerous fish attractors at local lakes using old Christmas trees and pallets to create and enhance structure and angling opportunities from shore and by boat. The location for the fish magnets can be found on the ODNR website,
