Well done, just a word of advice tho, if you released it you shouldn't hold it like that, in the gills/by the neck. Better to support their body by holding in a more horizontal position, and avoid putting your hand in the gills.
If you kept it, apparently (I haven't tried) they are poor eating when small.

Good handling advice, but they are damn tasty at that size. IMO.
Well done on the capture.
