Last & 1st fish of the Year?

[WadeK]

My last fish of the year was a Jailbird from the cement Ditch near the 58 at ~4:15 PM 12/30/2012. It was 19 inches and fought well for it's size. I still haven't caught the 1st fish of this year, although I did wet a line in the ditch on 138 near Neenach on my way home from getting my kids for the week.
I was wondering who amongst us caught the last and 1st fish of the year? Reply with your respective last and 1st, please.

Tight Lines,
Wade

I hope to catch one tomorrow, with a couple of Addicts.

last fish of the year was a nice fat spotted bay bass from SD Bay taken on 12/26/12. First fish of the new year was taken this morning (1/2/13) from SD Bay. It was a smallish lizard fish. I did redeem myself and follwed him up with a nice mixture of smelt and spotties as the morning continued.

My last fish of 2012 was a 10" spotted bay bass from under the Coronado Bridge on 12/27. My first fish of 2013 was a 14" largemouth bass from a small farm pond on New Year's Day. Both fish were caught on the same fly; a chartreuse and white #4 clouser minnow.

My last fish of 2012 was an ugly, 6-8 lb rainbow, courtesy of the local hatchery. My first fish of 2013 was a spotted bass caught using conventional gear last weekend. Fly caught first fish was a pretty, 15 - 16" rainbow from the same river I caught that hatchery aberration. Also caught last weekend.

We keep missing each other. I too caught my 1st fish of the new year yesterday on the same water, I'm thinking. 26L x 16.75G, makes for a fat aberration. 3 other abberations to hand and 3 pull-outs/break offs for me and about the same for my buddy with a 17" wild fish to boot, made for a fun day with not too much precipitation on us, while we could see major pourage up the hill.

Edit to add: Had my license checked. DFG guy said he only found a father and son baiting and keeping 1 in the C&R and 7 no license tickets between the C&K and the lake. @ >$300 each I guess he paid for himself.

Last fish of the year was also caught under the Coronado Bridge on Dec. 24. It was a spotted bass around 10" and my first of the year was a 24" rainbow caught in the Kings River on Jan 5.
