ive got one source from 1990 that says that the calico record
was exactly 14.7 pounds out of san clemente but im not
positive that thats the biggest calico bass ever caught.

"The world record kelp bass (14.5 lb.) caught by Tom Murphy off Newport Beach in 1995 was 27 years old while a 9.5 lb. fish caught by Jim Cvitanovich at San Clemente Island in 1993 was 34 years old."

Tom Stienstra's 2001 book shows the 1958 14.7 lb. record at San Clemente still standing.

I meant to say that the old record was 14lbs 7 oz., not 14.7 lbs. The current record, as Brian says, 14.5 lbs. broke the previous record by 1 ounce.
