That's a pretty easy one to answer for me. It would have to be Lake Erie. Largemouth, Smallmouth, Walleye, Yellow Perch, etc.

Kerr Lake for me
In GA I say Clarks Hill or Hartwell. Lanier is good for big spots but gets too much traffic to be considered a "best lake to fish". Lanier is a "best lake to party". I did plenty of that on Lanier 35 years ago LOL.

Smith Mountain Lake located outside of Roanoke, Va. Fished it since it was built and was fishing while it filled in 62. Lived on it for 16 yrs before relocating to Ga. to be with kids.
I fished Mashpee quite a bit when I lived in MA. Tough fishery for me (even if my avatar fish came out of it). Not a lot of cover and clear water. If I was headed out towards the Cape, I'd fish Great Herring, Long Pond (Harwich), or Santuit.
Since I've lived in a bunch of states...
Connecticut - Candlewood
New York - Onondaga (early 2000's). Probably the best body of water I ever fished.
Georgia - I always liked Hartwell
Massachusetts - Lots of good bodies of water. Assawompsett Pond, if you can get access. My favorite was Great Herring Pond.
Virginia - Chickahominy River (although Chesdin is underrated).
Wishing I was Fishing
Here in New York it's probably Podunkee Lake, the smallest of the Finger Lakes. It really doesn't get much pressure due to limited access, just a small dirt ramp and parking for only about 8 vehicles. Its loaded with Largemouth and has a very healthy population of Smallmouth. My favorite lake.
No one can be wrong that often so it has to be deliberate.
Missouri - Lake of the Ozarks
My favorite color is clear.
Uh....uh...uh...... finding " good bass water" in CO is like hunting monkeys in Alaska. If i had to make a choice and only because it has all 3 species in it..Pueblo Reservoir

Compared to most of the lakes mentioned here, Kansas lakes are small. Wilson reservoir is probably the best at the moment. There are several small state lake that have great fishing. There is one not too far from me. I can be sitting on my couch, decide to go fishing and be backing in in 20 minutes. That little 200to acre lake is the best in KS to me.
BAHAHAHAH thats funny stuff, 1322 acre lake compared to 180 mile long lake that is a National Park. Not sure what regional events you are talking about but never heard of any of the BASS western regionals being held on Sand Hollow or UBTT Championship or TBF divisional. Nice lake but doesn't rate as best bass lake, maybe best bass pond.
Im not a state but we have multiple St. Lawerance Lake Ontario and The Bay Of Quinte all can produce multiple bags over 20lbs both Largemouth and Smallmouth
If you like Osoyoos you should fish our clubs Open this September up there. 44lbs two days won last year.
Chelan has really slid downhill in the last decade. I'd put a few Columbia River pools above it, maybe even Long Lake and Moses now. Potholes has some monster smallmouth in it, but they're overshadowed by the great largemouth fishing.

Clearlake for big bags of Largemouth
Berryessa for Largemouth, Spots and Smallies
New Melones for spots
Shasta for numbers
all are fishing good
For Iowa I’d say pool 9&10 on the upper Mississippi. Okobji Lakes are solid also
Clear Lake, Ca Delta and Berryessa in that order, Clear Lake may very well be the best in the nation presently with 25 to 30 lb five fish limits in the middle of the winter in every event.
Thank You Leon Pugh
For largemouth Lake Huron
For smallies Lake Huron
