Bassmaster Magazine recently unveiled its annual list of America’s 100 Best Bass Lakes. It’s no surprise that a number of Texas lakes made the cut.

Compiling the list was a team effort that took roughly two months to complete, according Bassmaster Magazine Editor in Chief, James Hall. Hall claims he and his staff surveyed every state fisheries department on the country as well as B.A.S.S. Nation members who fished in all 50 states. They also looked at supporting tournament results and verified trophy bass submissions.

“The Top 100 rose to the surface very quickly,” Hall wrote on bassmaster.com. “The actual rankings are a bit more subjective. If an angler can go to a lake and catch a ton of bass, that’s good. If an angler can go to a lake and expect to catch a 10-pounder, that’s very good. If an angler can expect both, that’s awesome. The more boxes checked, the higher a lake ranks, period.”
