bass fishing

I posted this in a regional forum above but activity seems to be lacking there. I'd appreciate any info you guys have to offer. If anyone has something they don't want to advertise let me know and I can put up my e-mail. Thanks!

My partner and I are planning a trip to someplace in southern WI for a couple days in early May for some bass fishing. We're finding it hard to choose the lake(s) we want to fish. We are strictly catch and release and it is sort of a one time deal just for kicks but we get our kicks from catching big bass. Numbers would be fun but we just want to get a shot at a hog. Does anyone have any ideas as to where we could go to up our odds at catching some truly big bass?

I don't venture too far south very often but some of the cranberry bogs/lakes east of Black River Falls and Fort McCoy produce some dandies.
