Damian Thao, a tournament fisher from California, caught a massive 14.73-pound largemouth bass while fishing in his kayak on Eastman Lake. Thao used his forward-facing sonar to locate the bass and landed the fish using a large swim bait. The catch is a notable one, especially given the warm weather and the bass's pre-spawn behavior.
