My roughest ride ever was on Buchanan. That was a wild scary ride and broke me from fishing rough water. Worst waves I've seen were on Amistad with a wicked west wind. I never even thought about getting on the water.

I cant believe anyone hasn't said Whitney yet. Go to richland chambers on a windy day and whitney is a cakewalk, we were bank fishing out by fishermans point awhile back and almost saw a couple boats sink out there. I would imagine t-bend would be the worst due to its size running north to south.

I've been on Chambers when it was bad enough to tear the cowling off a yamaha.
Whitney with a good North wind can absolutely hurt.

Ive never been to toledo bend or texoma, but I think it would be hard to beat Conroe or Falcon on a windy day!
Falcon is like a giant wind sock, and because of its size, I have had many of long rough rides back to the ramp.
Conroe is out of this world rough, with its famous "Conroe Chop" !! It doesnt even have to look rough to be crazy. Last time I was there we got tossed all over the place and the swells didnt even look that big. However, the water is just moveing around in all different directions makeing things wild. I was truely scared out there the last time I fished it, and Im a very experieced boater!

Conroe is rough on a day with no wind due to all the traffic. Some of those large boats put out some extremly large wake.

Nobody has mentioned Falcon? That place gets really way up on the pucker factor when the winds come out of the north especially. They have lost a few boats lately, not sure about lives.
Be careful out there.

I'll get back to you sunday after J C's on Texoma. Rayburn with a 35mph northwest wind can get interesting. I still think T-bend is the worst having to stay in the boat lanes.

Conroe for sheer roughness! Bulkheaded most of the way around and no where for those cruiser wakes to go but back and forth. Add winds like we've seen lately and fishing that lake will flat beat you to death.
