Landed my first fish in over a decade about an hour and a half ago. I only go out once in a blue moon, but I'm attempting to rectify this mistake this year by going out more.
He appears to be a rainbow trout, if google is any help to me. My very rough, poor estimates make him about 10" in total length, and maybe 5 or 6 pounds weight. He made up a good fight, I suppose he didn't want his picture taken.
I let him go, however. I didn't bring anything to keep him in and even if I did, I don't have the right tools needed to dress him properly.
I used a Shakespeare Wild Series Trout rod/reel combo I picked up today at my local Bomgaars, Trilene XL 6lb monofilament and a dark brown Trout Magnet, with one of those dinky little foam bobbers the kits come with.
tl;dr: went fishing, caught fish, let it go.
