har, this is an easy question. No, I'm not joking...

Big bass live in the most obvious places. The biggest points, the deepest ledges, the biggest laydowns, the biggest docks, the biggest island tops, the longest flats, the biggest grass beds, the biggest boulders etc etc. The more obvious it is, the more likely a big bass will be there. The thing is, the big bass that live on obvious spots are big for a reason - because they're smart. On an 800 acre lake, you can fish all the obvious spots in a day or two. Over time you'll hone in on which of the obvious spots hold fish and at what times of year. Once you fish a lake enough, its not a question of where they are, its a question of how to get them to bite. Don't over-analyze the spots, fish the obvious stuff. If you're not getting bait, change tactics, don't fish junk water.
