Capt G posted this pic on another site and I had to share it.
This bass is from lake Biwa and is only 21 1/2 inches long.
It weighes an incredible 11 pounds, 5.30 ounces on a certified scale.
That is the thickest bass I have ever seen. Imagine that fish at 28-30 inches

The spawn is still a few months away there to so it could feasably get fatter.
