I found out this year that bass fishing is HUGE in Japan. I hauled around an editor, and a photographer for 3 days, they took over 3000 pictures, and asked almost every bass fishing question you could think about, they really love fishing.

Here is one of my favorite pictures, I call it "Kaos at weigh-in" there is at least 20 people you can't see in the picture, this is what you have to deal with at big bass weigh-ins in San Diego........the bass weighed 15-9, the photographer to the right of the picture is Mike Jones from Bassmaster Magazine. |

16.0 caught on a 7" Mission Fish Swimbait.
