Lake Fork is #10!
Bassmaster Magazine’s third annual ranking of America’s best bass fisheries has been announced. Months of research, catch-rate data and countrywide polling by the publication’s staff created the ultimate bucket list for anglers looking to fish the most productive waters in the nation.
The rankings were compiled from data from gathered from state wildlife agencies, current tournament data and polling of the B.A.S.S. membership.
"This lake is a Texas legend, and for good reason. It has already produced three Toyota ShareLunkers this season, the last one being a 13.86 caught in January. The scary thing is that crazy winter storms kept many anglers off this fishery, so it has had less pressure than usual. Expect very big things (think green with fins) to come from this lake once the weather stabilizes."
Lake Michigan’s Sturgeon Bay beat out the hottest fisheries in the U.S. to take the No. 1 spot for 2014. Texas and California tied for the states with the most entries on the list; both have eight lakes ranked in the Top 100.
