BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - On the heels of hosting the 2014 GEICO Bassmaster Classic, Alabama's Lake Guntersville continues to be recognized as one of the best places in America to bass fish.
The fishing website, Fishhound.com, just released its list of the 100 top bass waters in the United States--and Lake Guntersville took the top spot.
In its reasoning for why Lake Guntersville is such an excellent bass fishing destination, the website said:
"Not many waters offer a fat chance at both monster bass and 100-fish days, but this 69,100-acre bass factory has yielded many of both! The 'Crown Jewel' of a series of fabled Tennessee River impoundments and the site of the 2014 Bassmaster Classic, Lake Guntersville is as breathtaking as it is productive, with haunting hills at sunrise leaving as lasting an impression as the blow-ups of monster bass through the matted vegetation."
According to Kay Donaldson, Vice President of Marketing for the Alabama Mountain Lakes Tourist Association, the honor is a well-deserved one. "Lake Guntersville is the crowning jewel of Alabama's fisheries if not the country," she said. "The pressure this lake receives year to year and it just keeps producing 30-pound bags of bass. We are extremely proud to have Lake Guntersville designated as the best bass lake in the country by Fishhound.com
