The world record bass lives here - Lake Biwa, Japan. Part 4

I like how they have an expensive boat but still tow it with a small car

There’s something cool about the world record lake being so damn tough

And i'm here in the US fishing 40 miles off shore with a Japanese slow pitch jig set up and a yahama out board. Water that clear you need live minnows.

You remind me of Garrett from good good golf. Good video. I like your filming style. Here's a sub

What gorgeous water. Our lakes in tmTN look like land fills. And they're cleaner than most. It's sad how trashy Americans have become. I'd love to visit Japan. Everything there is beautiful. I carry out bags of trash every time i fish, and when i go back, it's even worse than it was previously. Disheartening.

so cool Matty!!!

I've been to Lake Biwa back in the 80s - I was on this 12ft aluminum boat - I rarely saw bass boats there, then - and when it blows, it turned out to be hell. Rough!

Good old days when bass fishing was still some sort of sub-culture thing in Japan (I was the only bass fisherman - and a skater - in my high school). Wearing a Fenwick trucker's hat and a chunky life vest with a bunch of patches of lure companies that don't sponsor me, throwing a Bagley's DB3 crankbaits and Magnum Pop R all day long. Never caught a giant - but life was full of dreams.

I'm glad you have a memory fishing Lake Biwa. Congratulations. I look forward to seeing you fishing and winning Elite series this year!

🤘 Rock on dude!

The water is soooooooo clear 😮 New lake added to the Bucket List!!!

Jeez… it’s really tough out there huh? Beautiful looking fish though. 😎 I love how you edit your vids bro, good stuff. 🤙🏽

So glad I caught this upload!

AOY!!! Love winter fishing. All day for one or two bites that are usually bigger and dead sticking to test my patients. Nice video.

awesome!

I was born and raised in Wahiawa, (The north fork of) Lake Wilson is my backyard. As a kid, we'd hike up the creek all the way to the up to the koolau's. I know the lake like the back of my hand as I rode my dirt bike and walked around whenever the lake was dry. Looking for lures and other stuff. I could tell you where every sunken tree was and any other surprise on the lake bottom. Back then Smallmouth bass and Tucanary were everywhere! I joined the Air Force and started fishing the Federation and Redman. I towed my boat for tournaments from Texas to Maryland and Ohio to Florida. That time of my life was fun. I used to hear people say "A bass is a bass, they are all the same everywhere"! As you stated it is not! The mainland bass fishing is far easier. The fisheries are managed better, and the money is lucrative! When I retired from the AF we decided to move back, I live in Wahiawa still and I brought my boat (Ranger) home. But the fishing isn't the same! I haven't launched my boat in years! "Go Fo Broke" Matt!

Kenta is a beast! tearing it up on the elites and the opens, that man is a machine!

See you in TX next weekend 🤙

Family mart and 7 11 in japan has the best food. Warm buns was so good

Biwa seems cool it looks really dope but theres no way im traveling to japan to fish a lake that you can only expect 1 or 2 bites a day. That seems kinda crazy

such a sweet looking lake

Its beautiful there

Kenta is a beast!💪

Amazing trip man

Such an awesome experience

80 mph is crazy Maddie I met you at the lacrosse tournament it was really nice to meet you

Just a casual crusing speed.
