According to the Dep's website the fish weighed 10.1 Kilograms which is 22.27 pounds. Its still a big fish that looks like it came off a bed. Shimano reel and Deps rod were used for the catch. There is no info on the lure used.

I'll see if the Japanese guys here at work can do some more translating for me.

*Update*

There is no information on the lure used. The Japanese guy here said that he suspects plastics since there is no picture. They would show a picture if it was a swimbait/big bait. He believes Deps products were used since the president of Deps was there to assist with the interview.

The photos were taken by the anglers cell phone. There is no information if the bass was weighed on a certified scale. We will have to wait for updates to get more informaion. As I know more I will post it here.
