Instead of putting up excuses maybe we should just work harder at improving.

Just my 2 cents.

Congrats to Japan at created such a great fishery.

Lets all build ourselves a RECORDS FACTORY pond behind our houses and start breeding and feeding. WHO KNOWS maybe the NEXT WORLD RECORD BASS WILL COME FROM your very own breeding and feeding facility.

Perry's bass was caught in its native enviroment and it was really a special fish to have reached the size it did. In my opinion this is what a record should stand for. Something verrrrrrrry special and not something that is a freak of nature.
