Awesome.

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.

Interesting on many levels. Great stuff guys!

Thanks for review very interesting.
