I'm afraid I don't think any native speaker would ever say that. The 釣りした part sounds very redundant.

The most natural way to say this would be:

男の子は自分で釣った魚を焼いた。

The fact that we use the word 自分 here is linguistically significant as basically in all Indo-European languages, one would use the third-person pronoun instead.
