In no particular order
Rayburn
Cedar Creek
T wok
Falcon
T-Bend
All of the above lakes I have fished in 30-35MPH winds and like someome else said with right conditions any of our larger Texas lakes can get bad quick. T-Bend has been the worst never seen waves so big

True story from long ago. Just bought a 24' Bass Tracker Pontoon and bought ALL the accessories but, saved money on the motor (40HP)!
Wrong!!!
Got caught in a storm on little Lake Arlington. Man there were rollers some three feet high and 30/40 mph winds!
Will NEVER do that again in an under powered/shallow draft rig of any kind!

Rayburn - 25th Mcdonald's anniversary tournament was the roughest water I've ever been on. A bunch of boats capsized. I have never seen anything that bad since.
Falcon - A strong North wind (25-40mph) rolling 40 miles down the lake when your all the way down south. haha. Making the run across the lake, East to West, will test your driving skills in a hurry. If you want to die you easily can if you get stupid or don't know what your doing... Numerous times I'd idle across drinking Heinekens

The lower end of Texoma can get really bad, Ray Roberts with a westerly wind is horrible, having to run the boat lanes on Toledo with big wind is a nightmare.

Any lake out in the open when the wind is blowing more than 30 is scary. Get it gusting up to 40 or 50 and it's terrifying. I've been scared on some of the smallest lakes and some of the biggest.
