For a bass to grow that large it has to come from an area of Japan where the water is warmer, and had a longer growing season. Bass that big can eat ducks for breakfast. Great catch!:clapping::clapping:

Hey that is a colossal catch. I would be happy with one half that size. 11# would be my personal best LMB. wtg:clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping:
