Why should they count it. To begin with, it beat the record by 1 oz, not 2, so at best, they call it a tie. But, if the rumors are true about it being caught in a closed to fishing area, not only should the fish not count as a record, but his fishing license should be taken away from him (do they require a fishing license in Japan?)
