My favorite lake is, and always will be, Alden Lake in PA. Way back in 1985, I caught my first fish from there. Some of my best fishing memories took place on that lake.

I haven't been there in years. I miss it. :(

Lake Gaston in North Carolina. I haven't been there in 14 years. Loads of awesome memories from a time when life was good.

For me, the shallow ponds, not really lakes, are my favorites. Assumpink is a go to pond for numbers, quantity over quality, but quality exists...pick your day and lure

LOVE to fish Farrington...the pads there offer so many possibilities from pan fish to pike...caught them all there...twitching the pads with a jerk bait in early spring or late fall is a certain strike. PB LMB in NJ from Farrington @ 8 LBS on my scales in the boat and released!

OK, I have said it and stick by it, Spruce Run...When this pond(lake) is way down in late summer/early fall the fishing for me has been awesome. Have topped the scales here @ 6.5 lbs for a LMB and 3.9 lbs for a SMB. Not the PB, but very close and keeps me coming back

Lastly, need to fish MC, RV, and a host of others to make my absolute decision; however, based on my limited experience: FARRINGTON IT IS!

I only posted my favorite ponds in NJ...IN NC...Lake Jordon hands down! caught more 10+ lb bass there than anywhere else... Second is Clarkshill Lake on the Ga/SC border...super awesome and full of HUGE LMB, Crappie,CATFISH, HYBRIDS, and Third is Lake Folk outside of Dallas TX...where a lunker in NJ is considered a "small" fish...just saying... been there and done that 4X

I'll have to say Spruce Run. Have been going there sense I was a kid, even before the reservoir was built. We would go swimming in the Mahocaway, there was a swimming hole with a rope swing not far from the old stone tower. Oh yea, really like those Hybrids to.

End of Nov. 2011 caught & released my biggest LMB, ever @ 24". Quite the surprise,......it came completely out of the water to pounce on the Yo Zuri right in front of me!

24"? that must have been what, 8lbs Mark? I definitely think both the LMB and SMB state records will fall soon.

No,.......like many of the predator fish, there, it was thin. I would guess it was maybe 6 lbs.
