Think of the name Preston Clark and many things come to mind. Setting a
Bassmaster Classic record with an11-pound 10-ounce largemouth bass on
day one of the 2006 Classic. Using a fiberglass pole-vaulter’s pole as a
push pole in the Classic. Breaking Dean Rojas’ heavyweight record at the
Santee Cooper Showdown from March 30 to April 2, 2006 with a winning
weight of 115 pounds, 15-ounces.

How in the world did Preston Clark catch 20 bass that weighed a
record-setting 115-15 total? Sight-fishing, of course. And as they say
"The rest is history". Preston has been catching big bass almost as long
as he has been fishing.
Professional angler Preston Clark, 41, from Palatka, Fla., landed the
biggest largemouth bass in the 36-year history of the Bassmaster
Classic. The record bass tipped the scales in at a massive 11 lbs. 10
oz. during the first day of the tournament, held on Lake Tohopekaliga
("Toho") in Kissimmee, Fla.
According to Clark, as soon as his hook was hit, he knew he had a
good fish. "I knew my line was going to hold," he said. "Big Game is
bullet-proof. I've fished it for years -- and it handles big fish in any
conditions."
