Alright, I'll get this party started with one of my favorites.
In NE Indiana, Big Turkey Lake will always be one of my favorite all-species small lakes to hit. Desperately hungry after the first trip, my wife and I stumbled into this humble looking tavern. Ever since then, if we're even remotely close to the area, we stop. Hands down, the best fried fish around (+ decent beer specials).
