Alright, imagine everything is paid for, you have no worries and your pick of the crop.

Which lake in the United States would you want to fish for bass? Your dream lake.

Remember, only in the US, because if it where all of North America I think the majority of us would choose El Salto.



I'll let this one run awhile before I throw mine in. So not to sway anyones answers.

Lake Powel as it has largies, smallies and striped bass. Give me a large houseboat to use as a base station along with a nicely rigged Triton to run around with during the day and I'd consider hunting bass full time on this lake!

My second choice would be: Lake Casitas, CA the only lake I've ever been on where you have a legitimate shot at a double digit bucketmouth every day of the year.

I think we have to go Falcon Lake here. It's right on the Mexican border so it's as close as you can get to El Salto without needing a passport. Anyone who saw the BASS tourney they had there a couple years ago (several sacks over 40 lbs) had to do a lot of drool-wiping I'm sure, I know I did. Guys were pissed when they caught a 5 lber. I think Texas fishing (80lb braid and a flippin' stick) suits me better than the Cali stuff (10 inch swimbaits and dropshotting in 40 feet of water). Also Lake Baccarac is another legendary lake in Mexico not to be forgotten.

For sure. And good call on your lake too. Though I would prefer the swimbait stuff.

Falcon Lake and Lake Amistad for the largies.

I'd like to try for Peacock bass in Florida.

Smallies would have to be back home in Michigan in my vacation Lake, Burt and Mullet Lakes.

Lake Okachobee in Florida and Lake Champlain in Vermont only because I've visited family there and seen large fish caught while we fished there. One of my cousins caught a 9 lber out of there and another cousin caught a 7lber out of there in the same week. 9 lber came when we were crappie fishing with a bobber and worm in one of the creeks.

Going to visit some family in Arkansas this August...they live about an hour from Bull Shoals so I will be fishing there first, then the next day I will be on Table Rock :)

For my dream place, I would have to choose Falcon, Clear, or the Delta
