Hey there OFF, first post! Looking forward to being part of the community.

Some introduction, I'm 24 years old and have not fished since I lived in FL when I was about 8 or 9. This year would be my first season fishing since then, so I grabbed some gear I bought a few years back (and never ended up using until now), and decided to head over to Grenadier Pond this afternoon. Well, I caught my first fish since the saltwater FL days! Kind of a flop in regards to the legalities, since I ended up catching a bass. The second I pulled it out of the water and removed the hook, my friend snagged a photo and I held it in the water until it sped off. Wasn't targeting bass, just fishing for whatever was going to bite.

Apologies for what is probably a totally newb question to you all, but based off of the illustrations I'm having a hard time identifying which species this is. My guess is Largemouth, but if someone could let me know for sure, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance, and sorry again for catching an out-of-season
