jimf Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 I'm curious to know what people think are the legendary bodies of water for bass fishing. Those lakes or rivers where you just gotta' fish them once in your lifetime. What would be that one body of water that is on your bucket list to fish? Quote

Super User slonezp Posted March 1, 2017 Super User Posted March 1, 2017 When my son was younger we traveled every year on spring break to a new destination. Now, not so much. I have fished Table Rock, Bull Shoals, KY Lake many times, Guntersville many times, Santee Cooper, Lake Toho and I've fished Sturgeon Bay for 40 years. Still on my bucket list: Lake Dardenelle, Toledo Bend, Pickwick, and St Clair Quote

Dale Hollow would have been on my list as well - 60+ year Smallmouth record kind of puts that in the "legendary" category. 2 Quote
bassguytom Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 The susquehanna river in my neck of the woods is legendary for smallmouth. 2 Quote
NorthwestBasser Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Toledo Bend, Tablerock, Guntersville, KY, Okeechobee, and the Ca delta, clear lake and lake berryessa... I guess that's my bucket list more than legendary, but some qualify in my opinion 1 Quote
