Plus Fishing Cup 2024: Toshifumi Kikumoto - the passion for bass fishing triumphs on lake Pusiano
Toshifumi Kikumoto's new adventure in Italy begins Thursday. The first glances at the lake that will host Sunday's competition, that almost compulsive attraction to the water that separates him from the catch. Right from the start, he asks for information about the lake's conformation, its maximum depth, the seasonal temperature, and so on. A necessary and habitual preparation for him in view of the following day when, accompanied by Plus Fishing Prostaff Nicola Minaldoni, he would take to the field to get to know Lake Pusiano and the beautiful fishes it hosts.
Those who had the fortune to see him that day cannot have failed to notice his extraordinary dedication, cast after cast, trying to adapt his infinite fishing experience to conquer a black bass even in this lake, entirely new to him.
The catches arrive but the size isn’t good. The most beautiful fish of the day, as often happens, quickly returns to freedom shaking its head after a brief fight. But you can't win all the time and a legend like Kikumoto knows it well.
The day ends with many catches made, a nice fish over a kilogram, perches and a pike.
