Bassmaster names Clear Lake #1 Best Bass Lake in America!
July 29, 2025
Bass fishing on Clear Lake
We’ve been saying for years that Clear Lake boasts the best bass fishing in the west. Well, we’re proud to say we’re not the only ones bragging. Clear Lake has been named to the “100 Best Bass Lakes in America for 2025” by none other than Bassmaster. Number one!. Our beautiful blue, 43,785-acre namesake has been named number one in the entire nation!
Five-hundred lakes were in contention. One-hundred lakes made the cut. But Clear Lake topped the list, meaning America’s oldest lake is once again our country’s best for bass fishing!
Here’s what the fine folks at Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (a.k.a. B.A.S.S.) had to say:
“This fishery has endured decades of tournament traffic and still produces monsters year-round,” said B.A.S.S. Conservation Director Gene Gilliland. “It’s a testament to both the ecosystem’s productivity and sound fisheries management.”
Gary Collins record 15lb bass caught on Clear Lake
Aw, shucks. Thanks Gene. We’re so grateful to all of the fishery folks who made this possible, as well as the anglers who keep coming back for more. There’s a reason: Like Gene said, we’ve got some big, big mouths. Just this spring angler Gary Collins notched a 15-bass, 102.81-pound total at the WON Bass Open, fishing alongside his friend and fellow fisherman, John Pearl. Trust us, there are plenty more monsters lurking in these depths.
