Im very new to bass fishing and over the last few weeks I have caught about 5 bass under 1 lb, pretty small..... but today I went out and fished a good section of water from shore and got this keeper.  Definitely my best by far... black and blue jig with craw trailer. So Im hooked  

Nice catch!

Keeper probably wasn't the best term i did release for another day

Good work sir! And thanks for the update on the release portion as well. You would certainly been well within your rights to keep such a fine specimen, but we all appreciate you letting someone else have a chance at catching that fish (or its future offspring) on down the road.

Welcome to the sport, and best of luck in the future.

Nice catch

nice catch!!

Keep throwing that jig and the "big one" will come.

Great job!

Nice job! It's a great feeling when you finally reel in a nice sized fish!
