Bassmaster Magazine recently released their list of the 100 best bass lakes in America. Topping the list was Falcon Lake, Texas, where I believe a kidnapping by the Mexican drug cartels comes complimentary with each 8-pound bucketmouth.
Fifteen Northeast lakes made the cut, including:
4. Lake Erie, New York/Pennsylvania
5. Lake Champlain, New York/Vermont
14. Oneida Lake, New York
18. Kezar Lake, Maine
22. Candlewood Lake, Connecticut
41. Congamond Lakes, Massachusetts
43. Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire
53. St. Lawrence River, New York
54. Squam Lake, New Hampshire
68. Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey
74. Cobbosseecontee Lake, Maine
76. Susquehanna River, Pennsylvania
89. Lake Wallenpaupack, Pennsylvania
96. Manasquan Reservoir, New Jersey
99. Sebago Lake, Maine
Have you fished/heard of any of these lakes? What lakes would you add to this list?
