2) Barkley
3) Nolin

6) Green River
7) Malone

9) Dale Hollow
10) Cumberland

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

ky/barkley are sooo far ahead of anywhere else in the state it makes me sad I live so far away

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.

Where is your bathtub. If it is closer than Taylorsville, I may consider it next time I plan a trip to Taylorsville.

Seems like there would be a lot more than what weight it takes to win a tourney playing into this. For me facilities, the ability to fish different patterns on the same day or same week and catch fish, different species and abundance, and overall atmosphere for fishing play a huge role.

Malone may not be as big or have the facilities that Barren or Barkley or Ky does, but people slow down when they pass you while you are fishing. And it is pretty relaxing.

Malone was just one example like that that came to mind. I am sure there are other lakes that fit that bill.

My list

1) KY
2) Barkley
3) Barren
4) Malone
5) Green
6) Nolin

After that it would just be speculation. Maybe include some of the lakes at Peabody. Some rivers might start sneaking in there too.
