You know, my person opinion, I would have to add the river to my list somewhere. Not for size, but numbers. Never caught a "giant" there, but the numbers I catch is just as good if not better than some lakes I have been too. It has always treated me fair.
It would be really hard for me to make a top 10 list because different places at different time of the year treat me differently.

1 - Ky Lake
2 - Lake Barkley
3 - Barren
4 - Nolin Lake
5 - Green River
6 - Dale Hollow
7 - Cedar Creek
8 - Lake Cumberland
9 - Rough River
10 - Willisburg
[QUOTE=Fishin is life;459556]Nolin above Green and Barren, come on now.....For the weights it takes to win tournaments I'd think Nolin would be toward the bottom of that list...I think a lot of people will agree with this one
1.Kentucky Lake/Barkley
2.Barkley/ Kentucky Lake....personal preference on which one you fish
3.Green/ Barren
4.Barren/ Green...depending on the time of year
I would think if you got the KDFW's rank of weights it takes to win tournaments throughout the year this would be your order[/QUOTE]
You won't get any agrement from me about Nolin. I have fished all the major lakes in the state, and Nolin would be 4th under Malone, but they are close IMO.

LOL. That is too funny!
[QUOTE=offdtop;459596]The last two years Beshear has had the nod from the KDFW for the shortest time to catch a fish over 5lbs, and the largest winning bags on the average.[/QUOTE]
that place is great. I think Beshear should be on the list
I noticed Guist Creek is not on the list. As far as I know it is the only state lake on this list that doesn't have a slot limit on bass or
a 15 inch size limit. There is another lake in Shelby County that has a 15 inch size limit and a 3 fish limit . These fish are
protected from fishing pressure . Guist Creek's 12 inch size limit and 6 creel limit has taken its toll on the trophy fish population.
The fact is Guist Creek has a lot more pressure than a lot of lakes with a size limit. There are more probably more tournaments on
Guist Creek per year than boat launches on Lake Shelby in a year. I have fished Guist Creek for a lot of years. I think it is time
for the FWS and the Shelbyville Industrial Foundation to get up to date with the rest of the lake requirements .

Just because a lake gets hammered with tournaments doesn't make it a top ten lake to fish. I would put Guist 125th on my list...I live less than 20 minutes away from there and would rather drive 45 minutes to the Ohio River and fish. If I knew where that one guy with bass in his bath tub lived, I would go there before Guist. I agree with you that the slot sizes and such aren't doing that lake any favors, but it's still not a top 10 lake to fish in my opinion.
Hey this is a thread that basskid started. Anybody remember him?

Maybe we should recruit him to come back.
Last year in June someone had a 26lb bag to win a tourney
