Which Would You Rather?

[Dalton Tam]

Ok, this is a question I ask many of my fishing buddies.Which would you prefer, a guided trip to Lake Fork for Largemouth bass or a guided trip to Lake Erie for Smallmouth? Both lakes are great for catching large amounts of large fish of each species. I personally would choose Lake Erie because I have never had the chance to catch large small mouth before. I was just curious what you guys would rather.

I didn't have to spend much time deciding...

[SirSnookalot]

Lake Fork for 2 reasons, fished Lake Erie most of my life and never have been to Lake Fork. Lake Fork isn't far from the Gulf and I'd be there on the same trip.

[Long Mike]

Lake Fork. I caught my PB there (the one in my avatar) and it's only four and a half hours away.

[K_Mac]

I would love to fish either one and I hope to make a trip down to Lake Fork next spring, but I would choose Erie to answer the question. I love fishing structure, and have not caught a smallmouth over about three pounds. There is something about the challenge of open water that appeals to me. I have stood on the shore of Lake Erie, in Erie, Pa when the wind was up, and that was an impressive sight.

[Nitrofreak]

I voted lake Fork, I have yet to catch a SMB in my 40+ years of fishing and really would like to know what a 5 or 6 lb smallie is like, but I chose Fork instead because I really want a chance to get a double digit LMB...and to fish with Long Mike, that would be a dream come true !!!

[Lund Explorer]

Kinda like Long Mike, I can be on Lake Erie in 4 1/2 hours. As a matter of fact, I'm surrounded by good/great smallmouth fishing.

But I can only find the Mesquite BBQ in Texas. I'll take Lake Fork!

[eyedabassman]

I catch a good small mouth every year 6 lbs. or over in my lakes. And I am not braggin! So lake Fork for me, to have a chance at a 10lb'er or better.

[BassinNY]

Lake Fork FTW. I would love to have the opportunity to land one of them monsters!!

["BRB"]

I been to lake fork so I pick lake Erie. Never been and plus I would love hook a 6lb smallie!

[Bluebasser86]

I've caught a DD largemouth but still hunting for a smallie over 6, Erie without even having to think about it.

[bassmaster3541]

Fork, I just love catching huge largemouth (really, I would like to go to falcon more though)

[A-Jay]

Lake Erie - would love to upgrade.

[Jake P]

I love Texas too much, i had to pick Fork. Although now that i think about it i would rather catch some smallies in erie. Never been smallie fishing and i live 2 hours from fork. Yep, Erie it is!

[Wayne P.]

May 23 at daylight I'll have this scene in a cove on Lake Fork except most of the stumps will be under the surface (I took this picture last year). It's only a 17 hour drive:

[00 mod]

Like RW it took zero thinking.......Erie for sure

Jeff

[WookieeJedi]

I voted Lake Erie. I can be at Fork in under 3 hours. I would rather try something different.

[Ima Bass Ninja]

I went lake fork. I want a double digit fish and that is probably my best chance.

[flippin and pitchin]

Erie. I would take my buddy who moved to Ohio four years ago and have a time. The elusive 6 pound smallmouth is the second reason.

[RoLo]

I didn't have to spend much time deciding...

RW had his HANDSFULL making that decision

Roger

[loodkop]

Erie. We don't have smallmouth within day trip distance and I would love getting stuck into some decent smallies.

[Dwight Hottle]

Fork for me.

[S Hovanec]

Largemouth aren't my thing, but I pick Lake Fork anyway cause I fish Erie whenever I want. It's pretty sad that my PB smallie is more than 2# bigger than my PB largie!

[grimlin]

Lake fork,simply because I never been there. I did Lake Erie a few times,only once by boat and caught my PB smallmouth there.

I'd like to caught a couple LM over 5-10#.....it's kinda hard to do here.

[etommy28]

Ill take erie because Fork would not be my first choice for big large mouth, infact my choice number one is okeechobee which I fish commonly.
