FISHING

A tackle saleswoman caught a state-record 21-pound 10-ounce largemouth bass in Miramar reservoir that weighs in at just 10 ounces under the 1932 world record catch.

Sandy Defresco, 47, of San Diego caught the bass Monday morning at the reservoir about 12 miles north of downtown.

Her catch eclipsed the listed state record, a 21-pound, 3-ounce bass taken by Ray Easley from Lake Casitas in Ventura County on March 4, 1980. The previous San Diego County record was a 20-pound, 15-ounce fish taken from Miramar on July 1, 1973, by Dave Zimmerlee. Defresco’s fish is the largest of its type reported since George Perry caught the world-record 22 pound, 4-ounce bass from Montgomery Lake in Georgia 56 years ago.
