LARGE. That thing looks like a mutant. If i caught that fish in JAPAN i would have killed it too. First of all, catch and release is illegal in Japan unless you are very cool. Also, you probably save lives killing that fish. Just think of how many japanese anglers and swimmers that thing probably ate.

Wow, G-Man, THE world record bass from Japan? How ironic! I can remember when it was big news over there that Fred Arbogast and Lee and Joan Wulff and probably some others I have forgotten (it was a long time ago) had some Florida fry sent over and stocked. And as you know, I fished Biwaco many times from when there were huge numbers of little bass and bigger ones every year. Man, what a lake that is! But I don't think I ever would have imagined that THE record bass would come from it. Wonderful!
And to think, there was a time when the Aiyu farmers wanted to poison the bass to get rid of them! I'm sure glad that didn't happen.
Standing by for more details.
Here's a shot of me and one of my engineers fishing some lake way to hell and gone up in the mountains. It was a long, long drive from Sakai City. The damned boat sank just after this picture was taken and we had to swim for it! That lake also had some big bass in it, even back then.
Thanks for the pic Fred (lol) You guys are taking on some serious water.
