It would have to be between five lakes. Fork, Holbrook, Lake O' the Pines, Pat Mayse and, Cypress Springs. All of these I've had one or more stellar days fishing and won a tournament on one of these.

back in the 90's and earlly 00's used to go to Fork in warm months and Monticello in cold months. Never stopped catching them. Both had hydrilla everywhere! Gold rattletraps on Monti and red on Fork. Had so many 50 to 100 fish days it was unbelievable. Sluggos were the bomb for awhile! Man I miss hydrilla! Did you ever whack ‘‘em with the AC Plug? I bought 5 back in the day and don’t think I ever caught a fish with them. Still have 3 of them, the bigger ones.

Lake Grapevine believe it or not. Best day fishing ever about 15 years ago. My brother and I got on a large mouth bite that lasted all day. We caught over 100 bass that day easily, even had a friend come out and fish with us because he just couldn't believe it. A once in a lifetime kind of day. No giants just tons of fish it was a blast. Tawakoni besides that because it is around the corner and you can always catch fish.

Rayburn back in the day when there was hundreds of acres of hydrilla on Needmore Point punching a Larew 6" hawg craw.

Absolutely! When the gizzard shad would show up in late Nov/early Dec under the bridge in big Mustang, we would clobber them on AC plugs! Duplechain showed me the AC plug one cold morning. 4-14 pound large mouth bass SCHOOLING! It was unbelievable for a few years!

Willow Slough Marsh back in the 80's. Consistently killed 'em back then.

I was on a Private Lake / Lease for 10 years up in Whitesboro. I poured a concrete boat ramp on it so I could launch my bass boat. Did not matter what time of the year you went. Average day was 50 bass, good day was 100+ bass. The lake had every kind of fishing you could imagine. It was 2 miles long and full of timber. Down by the dam it had some humps, lake had grass as well. Top water bite in the morning, worm and carolina rig in the middle of the day, if the wind would get up you could go down the windy side and wack them burning a spinner bait along the shoreline. Bubble gum lemon swirl Yum Dinger rigged weightless or wacky style would kill em on that lake. Took Lindy Roberts a few times and he begged me to get on the lease, but it was full of 10 members, 5 of which were bass fisherman, 5 were duck hunters. I'd love to buy that property and build up there. I took a kid from Belgium once who came to the US to bass fish for the summer, he said it was the best bass trip ever. I took a friend's relative from Amarillo who was dying of Cancer, he said he hoped Heaven was just like it as we caught over 200 bass that day. Largest I ever caught was 8 lbs, but it had a ton of 4 to 5 lb bass in it.
