Thread: First-Ever King Photos

Wish I could post a pic of mine but some dude name Freddy broke into the pier house on the night of Sept 12th,1979 and took everything.

[size=12pt]Yup, that is a night I will never forget. The pier house ain't all Freddy broke into, or just broke![/size]

Couple First Timers

Presley - First King caught on 4/22/2012

There is a photo of my son's first King that James took last year which included my wife and I also. I cannot find it, though. I think it was on the old forum in the scroll at the top.

My first King was back in April 14, 1984 on the old GSSP pier and was small--it was then I got my lateral line lesson in comparison to a Spanish. I do not have a photo of it. First real king followed the next day on Sunday the 15th, as it was a day before my birthday on the 16th. Also caught my first Amberjack that day as well.

[size=12pt] VG, take a look at the pier’s fb page; there are a lot of James’ photos mixed into the albums.

Not seeing it.

Wasn't there another pier forum floating around awhile back after the old one crashed? I think that photo scroll was transferred to it when I reviewed it once.

I remember My first King like it was Yesterday.It was sometime around 1988 On the old Pier .I believe Bryan Bennet gaffed it for me Jack Jones Was the pier manager then. Good times :banana:

Don't really remember mine, but I do remember my first day on the pier and actually have a picture of it. Yesterday would have been 21 years to the day I became addicted to pier fishing.

Here is the picture of my first day on the pier.

Maybe now yall can understand why I am so addicted to fishing from the pier.

I hooked this Fish and Handed the rod to this Young Lady She did a fine job Landing that fish .
