Todd Castledine of Nacogdoches, Texas, weighed a five-bass limit totaling 18 pounds, 9 ounces Saturday to win the EverStart Series Texas Division event on Toledo Bend with a three-day total of 15 bass weighing 65 pounds, 2 ounces. For his victory, Castledine earned $27,842.

“Seems like every week I come up against these guys, [Bird and Martin], but I love the competition. It makes me a better fisherman” said Castledine. “This really has been an incredible week. This morning after my boat broke down I was real nervous, but then everyone came out to help and I knew I was prepared for this moment and everything worked out.
