Largemouth Bass can be found in almost all corners of the U.S. Chances are a good lake or pond is not too far from you. Why is it then, that most people aren't that good at catching them? It's all about their focus. Heck, the next
world record largemouth bass
might be right down the road from you.
Most people don't start fishing to collect fishing lures. The same is true of boats, fish finders and tackle. This seems to be the main focus of most fishermen though. Finding fish should be your main focus, because once you're on them, all you need to do is fine tune your technique.
“This lure is deadly. All I've got to do is find time to get out fishing, and those fish are mine!” Sound about right? Mother Nature doesn't care if Saturday is your only day to fish. She also doesn't care if the lure you are using is wrong for your favorite spot.
Bass, luckily, can be caught on a great variety of lures. Some people like to fish more actively, and some like the “dead stick”. You may not be after the world record, but you can catch a dandy on simple gear. With an understanding of them, you can fish them the way that suits you.

If the fish wasn't planted, he would have never caught it, so I think the one caught in Japan is the record.
