He Knew It! Takahiro Omori

     TO was the first Japanese angler to win the Bassmasters Classic in 2004, opening up the sport to many other Japanese anglers.  He made his dream a reality a Lake Wylie conquering the highest mark a bass angler can achieve, to hold up  that Bassmaster trophy above your head at the end of the classic.  Of course, getting that hefty check and getting called to many endorsements after that win also helps out with the bills.  He was famous for saying ," I knew it, I knew it" after cranking in his last 3 lunkers in the same spot at the end of the day right before heading back to weigh in.  Takahiro is set to go for this years classic, let's see if he holds that heavy metal fish again after 11 years.  It's going to be good.
