Caught my first 5+ lb largemouth tonight!

Hey guys, im pretty excited as a few hours ago around 11:00 pm i got my first truly big bass. I was using my trusty jitterbug topwater lure and heard a noise that was unmistakably a huge bass going for my lure.
Well he hit it and missed.
Then he came back and put up a really nice fight. My dad had his headlamp on and the net ready and when we saw the fish i was practically giddy. We tried to weigh the beast but our scale was off. It read 4.5lbs but we knew the scale measured under the actual weight of the fish.
He bled a little bit on my shirt while i got my pic taken with him, but swam away fine when i put him back in the water.
Im so excited im gonna send the pics to all my friends who fish!

Post them here too! I'm a top only basser, and the thrill of seeing a big bass hit your plug is...... well 2nd to none. Well done, and tight lines.

PIIIICS! oh yeah im 15, almost 16. a little more than 5'8".
the pics really dont do that bass justice, he was definitely over 5 lbs... i could have fit my fist in his mouth easily and when he hit the jitterbug it sounded like i had thrown a basketball-sized rock into the water.
