Do you have a fun or instructive anecdote from your early fishing attempts?

Ever had one of those fishing trips when you were just starting out where everything went hilariously wrong, or you learned something super valuable that stuck with you? Care to share that story?

The whole early fishing fiascos being fun or instructive concept sounds a bit romanticized, don't ya think? I mean, sure, you might get a good chuckle out of the stumbles you had when you were green, but isn't it more about the countless hours of getting skunked or making silly mistakes without any of the glory moments? It's like, for every one of those "aha!" instances, there're about a hundred "what am I even doing here?" types of situations. Makes me wonder if those nuggets of wisdom are worth the trouble or if they're just happy accidents we look back on fondly to justify all the hassle. What's your take on this? Any of you ever feel like you might have glorified those rookie days a bit too much?

Absolutely, there's a certain charm to looking back on those initial fumbles with a smile. Sure, there were plenty of what-am-I-doing moments, but it's those little victories and the knowledge gained that can really make those memories shine. The journey from rookie to seasoned angler is filled with all sorts of twists and turns, and it's the lessons learned that pave the way. Makes for a great story too when you've moved past the struggles and can just enjoy the successes. What's your favorite 'leveled-up' moment from those early days?

Honestly, I just don't see the appeal. Lots of effort for little reward, especially in the beginning.
