hell yea dotty was a monster =] heres more to the story

#11324, "World Record Largemouth Bass Contender Caught!"




This just went down a couple of hours ago
Certified weight: 10.12 kg. = 22 lb. 5 oz
Length: 29.4 inches
Location caught: Lake Biwa, Japan

This was just on the TV news about an hour ago, so this is all the info I have. Mr. Okamura, the president of Deps Tackle Co., helped with the interview; I did not catch the anglers name.

We are well past the spawning season when most of the giants are caught at Lake Biwa; most of the fish now are quiet slender (after spawn condition). Not this one!




Congrats to the angler on a fine catch.

Lake Biwa shocked the bass world a couple years ago by producing a bass that was well over 18 pounds (The Japan record was caught at Lake Ikehara, and weighted over 19 pounds.).


A 25 1/2 lb. bass was caught as by catch in a fisherman's net earlier this year, so many thought it would be just a matter of time before a record size fish was taken from Japan's largest (over 70 miles long) natural lake

Well, according IFGA rules, it Wouldn't be a WR, just a tie, to beat the record a new fish must weigh 2 oz more than the previous record...so we'll see.

It isn't official... Lake Biwa is a huge lake, there could be a bigger one.
