This is from Field and Stream
Minnesota
State record: 8 pounds 12.75 ounces, Joseph Johanns, 10/22/94, Tetonka Lake
Best water: Lake Minnetonka. “It’s really difficult to name just one because there are so many smaller water bodies that have really good bass fishing. But Minnetonka has 14,000 acres, and it does produce a lot of big largemouths.”—Al Stevens, lake and streams coordinator, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
Contact: Lake Minnetonka Guides, 612-860-3052
Sleeper: Lower Mississippi River, from Hastings south. “There is a whole system of impoundments and backwater areas, and the largemouth population has done well for a very long time.”
