BUDA — When 15-year-old Trace Jansen went fishing on Feb. 28, it was beyond his wildest dreams that he would land the heaviest largemouth bass ever caught at Lake Travis in Austin.

Jansen, a student at Johnson High School in Buda, caught a 15.32-pound bass, breaking a lake record set in 1993. Jansen’s catch is the 12th “Legacy Class” largemouth bass landed in 2021 — the heaviest at 16.40 pounds on Feb. 19 at O.H. Ivie Lake east of San Angelo.
