That thing is big enough to eat a baby, great catch!

Amazing fish, and only 77 years to tie the record.

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!

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