Yeah I have to agree with you swimbait. hey Lake, nate here, I have to say that the fact that the fish was caught in japan doesn't bother me, in fact heres one way to look at it: The japanese fishing industry has helped our tournament fishing in a lot of ways. techniques in japan have made their way out west and so have some very high quality products and bait detail second to none which have greatly helped our circuits and shaped very well rounded anglers. NOT TRYING TO ARGUE, just my two cents, and figure if the next record isnt in the us, might as well have it be japan, and not some random country which hasnt "pitched in" to make us better fisherman. i mean gary yamamoto, the senko, lucky craft? thanks japan.
