Gear check off list

I'm planning on hitting the water for the first time this weekend, I think I have all the equipment and gear I need. Does anyone have a gear check off list they are willing to share or just something you did not think of your first time out?

Unfortunately I'm not that well endowed, but I do use it to subdue halibut.
