Back when I was 5, I made my parents buy me a 5gallon hex tank with a UGF and I put 2 feeder golds...a black moore, an apple snail and a chinese algae eater in it. They all stayed in there for a year or two, until the incandescent bulb melted the tank hood and I decided to give my fish away since they were of course WAY to big for the tank 
5 HUGE goldfish crammed in a ten gallon tank. didnt change the filter cartridge till it was so clogged it wouldnt work anymore and i would feed them a handful of flakes twice a day. I think i was 9 or 10?
Gold fish. Had lots and lots of gold fish. You remember the flat round bowls made out of heavy glass. Good friend of my dads let me catch a gold fish out of his stock tank on his farm. Took it home and put it in my bowl. Bowl was about 2 gal. new goldfish was about 8 inches. I thought it was neat. Mom wasn't real happy with me. Back to the stock tank. That was 47 years ago. First fish I personaly bought was a neon. Fish have been in my family for a long time. My mom started a tank when she worked at a five and dime. She would not like me to say how long ago that was.
im not sure what my first fish ever was because ive been keeping fish since i was like 4 but my best guess would be goldfish or platties
my first monster fish would be my oscar

I thought half of the comments here would say guppies. It shows that some of these people truly have monster fish in their blood. Especially the guy who had a snakehead for a pet. LOL.
