Introduction: Lake Biwa is the largest natural lake in Japan. Estimated at two million years of age, it is one of less than twenty (20) ancient lakes in the world. With a surface area of over 165,760 acres, Biwa is the approximate size of Lake Mead (157,900 surface acres) and Lake Powell (160,800 surface acres) in the United States. By comparison, Clear Lake, CA is only 43,785 acres, Lake Ouachita, AR 40,000 acres, Lake Amistad, TX 65,000 acres, and Lake Tahoe, CA 122,240 acres.

Just curious. If bass are considered an invasive species in Japan and Lake Biwa, is C&R allowed?

In some other parts of the world, ie european perch in Australia, you can't return invasive species.

I had heard there is a $5,000 fine for releasing a bass caught in Biwa.
