Re: 20.15 lb bass
Beautiful fish congrats to Hiroshi! it'd be interesting to know when those Florida's made it over there.
I read somewhere that this fish would set the 16lb line class record if the angler applies for it. Seems like a lot of those crawdad fish in the top 20 would of been on lighter line.
