i just wanna thank everyone for all their thoughts and inputs. it has really helped me to open my eyes up, and not think so "big". but to answer some questions. yes, ive been to a few hundered 100acre+/- a little lakes, so i do pretty much know what size im thinkin about. but after hearing everything you all have said, i think i might wanna cut down to around 50 acres. after looking at the topography, im not sure if my land would be suited for this. and to be honest, i got a good deal on the land, and we've always wanted our own fishing paradise. so if i dont build one here due to circumstances, what state would everyone reccomend as a good place for a large lake/pond. i grew up in southwest VA, and ive seen some nice size ponds, but not many over 50, and probably maybe one or two around 100 acres. thanks again
