Alabama has some fantastic bass lakes so it is hard to decide which ones are best. The Bass Angler Information Team (BAIT) statistics can help guide you, depending on what you want. Some lakes are better for numbers of bass and others are best for bigger fish. And a few offer the best of both.

Lake Guntersville is known world wide in the bass fishing world as a great place to catch big bass. Tournament limits of five fish often weight between 25 and 30 pounds and bigger limits are caught each year.
In the Alabama Bass Angler Information Trail (BAIT) statistics, Guntersville ranks first in Average Weight of Bass and the least amount of time to catch a bass weighing over five pounds. If it is big bass you want, go to Guntersville. It does not rank as high on catch rate per angler hour so you will not catch a lot of bass on most trips.
Guntersville is a shallow, grass filled lake so expect to fish a variety of shallow baits most of the year. And take stout tackle
