The fish was caught on a swimbait/troutbait. Another fish (I did not receive a pic yet) was weighted in, again on a swimbait, at just over 15 pounds. Damn, gotta make it to the lake soon. Capt. G:-)

This pond is a natural lake in central Japan. It is approx 70 miles long, and 10 miles wide. From Tokyo--6 hours without traffic, 10 with traffic. Good luck.:-)
