LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — There was steady rain on Championship Sunday as the 2025 Bass Angler Magazine Clear Lake Super 60 Champion tournament came to a close. 

Randy McAbee Sr., a legend in the bass fishing community, was on hand for the weigh-in on Sunday afternoon.

He and his wife left Bakersfield at 9 a.m. to watch his son and grandson cross the weigh-in stage.

The first angler to sit on the hot seat is the 2025 Angler of the Year Tyler Madden. Madden’s five fish limit that weighed 16.65 pounds was quickly eliminated by Ty Manterola’s 24.54 pound limit.

Manterola remained on the hot seat as the next seven anglers were unsuccessful in bumping him off until Mason McAbee crossed the stage. His five fish limit that weighed 27.19 pounds was enough to claim the title. 

The top prize package is a Bass Cat Pentera Classic paired with a Mercury 200 Pro XS fully rigged with lowrance electronics worth $70,000.

A special thanks to Mark Lassagne and the entire BAM staff for putting on an incredible televised production. 

The top 10 anglers who competed on Super Sunday are listed in order below:

• Mason McAbee, 27.19 pounds, $70,000 Bass Cat / Mercury Package.
