LARGEMOUTH BASS: 18.11-pounds caught by Kyle Gentry of Oakdale on February 6, 2010.Caught during an Anglers Choice Western Rookie League tournament- may be a record for biggest bass ever caught in a tournament!Kyle used a brown/purple jig with a Yamamoto 5” Twin-Tail Grub in cinnamon/purple for a trailer. Kyle caught the bass 20 feet deep in the back of a cut. After weighing her in at the tournament, Kyle returned the fish back to where he caught her on the lake.

I think the record is an 18.55 pound bass caught out of Castaic in an ABA tournament in the early 90's. I can't remember if it was Gary Southern or one of his partners that caught it. I was fishing the tournament in the next cove over when it was caught. That was back when Castaic was in its prime. I tried to google it, but I couldn't find the info. Somebody on here will know more.
