Man ties record for biggest largemouth bass

DANIA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- A man was being credited with tying the 77-year-old world record for catching the biggest largemouth bass. The International Game Fish Association announced Friday that it had confirmed the 22-pound, 4-ounce fish caught by Manabu Kurita. The Florida-based group said Kurita caught the fish July 2 on Lake Biwa, Japan's largest lake.

Kurita's fish tied the record of George Perry, who caught his bass on Georgia's Montgomery Lake on June 2, 1932.

Kurita used 25-pound test line and a live blue gill as bait.

I was raised as a child on the Willamette River..... its the largest tributary to the Columbia. The Paper Mills in Oregon City used to keep their logs in rafts up river and amidst those log rafts was a great habitat for Large and Small Mouth Bass.

On of the biggest thrills of my life was catching a 5 lb Large Mouth Bass. It struck the bait like a FREIGHT TRAIN and I will never ever forget that moment.

A 22 lb Bass???.......Wow.

I don’t think it’s a matter of “is it coming.” I think that it’s already here, it’s just a matter of perspective. From one perspective, our frog friends are telling us that we should be grateful that the “spa” is hot and luxurious. From the cook’s perspective… another 10 minutes and we’ll be dinner.

That is huge!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder how old that fish is. I have never caught a bass. But catching and landing a 44 inch Northern Pike was a pretty big thrill.
