    Monster bass indeed, and not caught on a big lure

    Big bass indeed.

    I think I've fished out of some boats that were smaller than the "bump board" that things pictured on. ;D

    Wow, just wow. Could you imagine hooking into that thing and seeing the head come up for the first time?

    Interesting how they kill their bass yet they are apparently getting so big? The guy w/the record claims there are many over 20 in Biwa (I think thats the name).

    Mass selective harvesting does wonders. ;D

    Kind of puts a wrench into the thought that Catch & Release is the "only" way.

    BIG congrats to Mr. Hiroshi

    Hiroshi is a well known trophy bass fisherman in Japan and has caught 18+ lb bass before this 20.15 lb fish. Japan is about 2 months away from the primary spawning season in May/June.

    Congratulations Hiroshi!
