    Fish identification..juvenile bass?

    I have tried to attach some photos to this posting, hope it has worked.

    I caught this fish a few miles up the Tavy estuary (Devon) a few days ago. It was tiny so I released it back into the river.
    I am fairly new to fishing so I'm not great at fish identification. Can anybody tell me what it is? I thought it might be a juvenile bass.

    Thanks,

    Tom

    100% correct. It is a juvenile Bass, otherwise known as a school bass or schoolie.
    Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

    Thanks for the swift responses. I hope to catch it again in a few years time when it has grown up a bit!
