The first to predict the existence of an animal like Tiktaalik was paleontologist Neil Shubin, along with his colleagues. They proposed that transitional fossils between fish and tetrapods would be found in the fossil record, based on evolutionary theory and the anatomical similarities between fish and early land-dwelling vertebrates. Their predictions were confirmed when Tiktaalik, a key fossil representing this transition, was discovered in 2004 in the Canadian Arctic.

Was Tiktaalik one of the first fish to walk on land?

It depends on your definition of what it means to "walk". From fossil evidence we know that Tiktaalik favored shallow habitats close to land and that it could very easily support itself against the force of gravity. So it is at least conceivable that Tiktaalik was capable of pulling itself up and out of the water when it needed to. But whether you would call this "walking" is a matter of definition.With this provision in mind... Was Tiktaalik one of the first fish to amble in some manner on land? Quite possibly, yes.
