Angler thread. Any fishermen here?

I just started fishing again lately and wanted to know if anyone else does. I was in Florida in late March and stayed at a friend’s house. He lives right on a lake, so on day one I bought him a couple of fishing rods because it looked like a good location for bass fishing.

The first cast (actually second…first one was just a short test) yielded…this. I thought the fish was nice, but my friend’s crazy reactions were far more entertaining.

What size do you reckon that fish was? If I were guessing I’d say 3+ lbs. It was pretty hilarious. We caught a few within the first 20 minutes. Quite fun. Released them all and ate a pretty compelling collection of tenderloins for dinner that we had already purchased.
