I posted a few days ago I wanted to get into fishing to see if it would be a good retirement hobby. So I stopped at a local store and let the guy sell me some overpriced stuff and give me some “free “tips. I went to the retention pond behind my house while the sun was still up and cast for about an hour, more for practice than expecting to get a bite.
Just as it was getting dark I went out for a few more casts and then boom, this guy hit. Not bad. Not sure how much it weighed. Took him off the hook after a few pictures and moved him around in the water to get him swimming and then off he went.

Solid large mouth bass! Keep practicing! Got some nice size fish back there
Those ponds always have a few chunks swimming around. If they end up looking kind of skinny you can always dump in some big bags of fathead minnows. Pond supply shops usually carry them.
