Official: Largemouth bass ties record

It's official, the 22-pound, 4-ounce largemouth bass caught on Lake Biwa in Japan has tied the record for the the biggest bass ever caught.

Manabu Kurita caught the monster on 25-pound test line with a blue gill July 2.

Six months later, on Jan. 8, the record was confirmed by The International Game Fish Association.

Kurita's fish ties the record that George Perry set on Montgomery Lake in Georgia June 2, 1932.
