That is pretty impressive, I hope to have fished that many some day.  

[plumworm]

#2 , #16, #19, #25, #34, #35, #36, #42, and a trip to #3 set for March. Add #17 and #47 from the new list.

[Felix77]

#5 and #14. Looking to add at least one more next season.

[webertime]

I live on #5, other than that #43.

[Chris186]

I have fished #16, #41, #73, and #74. Honestly, #41, Congamond, im not very impressed with. Im not sure how it made it up so far on the list. All of the others I have fished  put that lake to shame. #74 is a personal favorite.

[Bluebasser86]

Perry #60? Uhuh...

None of those KS lakes should be on the list. My 2 favorite KS lakes aren't on the list, but they shouldn't be on there either.
