Grand Lake will host the Bassmaster Classic for the second time in four years beginning Friday.

Oklahoma has five lakes included in Bassmaster Magazine’s annual list of the 100 best fishing lakes in the country, the most ever from the Sooner state.

Grand Lake O' the Cherokees, as always, is the highest rated Oklahoma lake on the list, which was released Wednesday. Grand Lake is ranked as the 13th best bass fishing lake in the country.

It's the highest ranking for Grand in the four years that Bassmaster Magazine has compiled the list. Grand Lake, site of the 2016 Bassmaster Classic, was rated 17, 15 and 19 in the three previous years.

"No matter which tournament organization database you search, it's easy to see why this lake remains one of the best in the country," Bassmaster.com stated. "Take an April tournament held by the Grand Lake Anglers for Christ as an example. It took 22.9 (pounds) to win, and the top 22 anglers had more than 15 pounds."
