15-pound Bass Caught from Renowned Fishery

Who doesn’t love looking at pictures of giant bass? We’re getting multiple reports that angler Kenta Kimura has caught a 15-pound bass from Japan’s Lake Biwa. We’re working to get more information on the exact gear used to catch this monster, but from the photos, it appears to have been caught on a Strike King 10XD crankbait. Keep checking back as we continue searching for the whole story.
