Which lake do you guys think the next world-record largemouth is going to be caught out of? Why?

 Lake Biwa in Japan.

 

Since there was one, there is probably more . . . .

Kurita said there were bigger bass than the record he caught.  So, for now I'll go with Biwa.

Some lake we never heard of, these giant bass need a sanctuary lake with the perfect climate and forage base. Japan has a good chance and I would rate that country as #1 choice. #2 is my home state of California, again don't know what lake and wouldn't name it if I did!

x3 on Japan's lake Biwa.

 

But I'm curious as to the Texas guy who's 

stocking his lakes with various prawn species

in effort to grow a world record LMB.

We'll see.

 

Edited to add link and change shrimp to prawn.

Biwa. Godzilla came out of that lake too you know.

I'm gonna go with Lake Dixon in CA since a bass larger than the current standing world record was foul hooked there (25+ lbs)

Someone with enough money to have it brought to the USA  always wins.  Until a smarty says . " Lets have a DNA test of the good  citizen. "   

 

ARRR.   He be good for the cat tonight.  ARRRRH

That fish has passed on.

It will be a FSLMB, wherever it's caught, if ever

That fish has passed on.

If it can happen once....

Japan

Not sure the circumstances around that fish are still there.  I know other lakes, like Castaic, have suffered a bit of decline due to low water and the cessation of trout stockings.

 

I really think the next WRB willbe a smallmouth, or spotted bass.

 Perhaps, and the brown one might come from Lake Simcoe. 

 

  Serious Brutes seems to be a common occurrence lately from that place.

Wasn't the world record spotted bass broken this year?

Where? California or Japan

Why? Cause aint nowhere else producted a 25 lb bass!

Largemouth from Japan.

 

Smallmouth is very unlikely to be broken. I wouldn't be surprised to see Simcoe cough up a 10lber.  

 

Spot from California.

It's hard to say. I'd like to see someone catch a 20+ though. Seems like kuritas bass was the last big bass caught. even sightings of bass that size seems stagnant at the moment.

Yes. I saw that and can't wait to see what comes out of there. I've heard lake Barrarac has some 20+ pounders in it too.

Yes, Kevin Bryan's 10.48 lbs at New Melones Lake in Northern California.

I´ve been to Baccarac, caught a "few" 10-12.5 lbers., too warm for bass to live long enough to reach more than 24 lb. Bass in Baccarac like in the rest of the country feed mostly on tropical panfish ( tilapia ).

 I've heard lake Barrarac has some 20+ pounders in it too.

I heard they've (unofficially) caught 24 lbers there. That lake could definitely be a candidate for the next world-record. Although I think it'll probably be Japan or SoCal (L.A. or San Diego) idk.

I'm going with anything but Dixon lake in san Diego, ca. Its about 5 minutes from my house and more like a pond than anything else lol. Theres really only one place to fish from shore, and no boats, just kayaks and the like allowed and only caught a few smalls ones and have been there alot. The record at Dixon was 25.1 and to my knowledge the fish died a few years ago, and so far the only fish there it seems is about a pound to two at the most. Definitely not my favorite lake in Socal

FYI - Raul lives in Mexico

Keep in mind these giant bass live a maximum of 15 years. The Kurita WRB was caught in July 2009, Dottie was found dead in May of 2008. The big bass Kurita referenced are long gone and no bass over 19 lbs has been caught anywhere since 2009.

The rumors that 30 lb LMB live in Cuba have never been authenticated, in fact nothing over 15 lbs has been actually weighed in Cuba, they eat the bass down there.

No LMB over 19 lbs has ever been officially weighed in Mexico, again the locals eat what they catch, except Raul....and that could be another rumor!
