Honorable Mention in Bassmasters

[mlvaj]

Just looked at Bassmasters top 100 lakes for bass fishing and we have a couple of MN lakes mentioned in there. Just a thought but what are some of your favorite bass lakes/River in MN.

Mine are:

1)Tonka

2)Waconia

3)Mille Lacs

4)St. Croix River

5)10,000 more lakes to try and like

I'll take the Mississippi. You guys can keep your lakes.

I'm really surprised Vermillion and Leech werent mentioned and Rainy was. I guess I dont know much about Rainy Lake but I always hear how great Leech and Vermillion are.

Leech and Vermillion smash rainy. Now, if you want to talk Canadian side of Rainy, it wins. But American side can be TOUGH fishing

I was very surprised leech didn't make it. Good thing they only listed large lakes. if they would have listed some of the smaller gems we would be in trouble

Waconia in there but not Leech? Uhhhhhh OK...

[mww24]

Waconia has been hit hard. Still puts up some pigs. Not having leech amazes me. especially since rainy made it.

[thatoneguy]

My personal best LMB came from Waconia so I have a soft spot for it, but man it's tough to find a lake with the average size (and good numbers) you get out of Leech. Never fished Rainy so I can't comment on that

[mww24]

my biggest LM ever came from a lake around 100 surface acres. my biggest smallie was on mille lacs. i agree that all the lakes listed are great but minnesota just has so many amazing bass lakes. we are spoiled.

Maybe someone took it off the list?
