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.
