There are some problems so that this bass is authorized as a world record.
At first it is to have caught it with the live bait of the bluegill.
The Japanese bass angler uses lures basically.
So there are a lot of bass anglers regretting that he was able to catch this bass with a live bait.
Next there are the special bass circumstances of Lake Biwa.
Not only the Lake Biwa but also Japan tends to dispose of the bass nationwide.
It is the basses that what was brought about in this extermination activity doesn't lay eggs by a gene manipulation.
The bass which doesn't work on laying eggs digests the egg which became pregnant in one's body.
And the bass which digested the eggs which included a lot of nourishment becomes very big!
We call this bus "a triploid" in Japan.
When the bass which Mr.Kurita caught was the bass of the triploid, it seems that it is difficult for it to be authorized as a world record.
The reason is because the monster bass made artificially is.
An investigating group of IGFA comes to Japan and seems to examine it.
Even if how it turns out, it seems to take time still more till an answer is given.
