Georgia Bass Grand Slam.

[NorthGA_Recon]

Anyone ever heard of this? I've made it my new goal for this year. I'm pretty sure I can get it done. Smallmouth in Blueridge, Redeye in the cartecay, shoal bass in the hooch, largemouth and spots pretty much anywhere. Going for it in the Gheenoe!

Best of luck - that sounds like a good time.

That bass range map is interesting. Selecting individual species shows their habitat range. I didn't know Smallies had that big of a range in Georgia.

I'm not sure that map is entirely 100% accurate.

An admirable endevour, I have shoal bass are definitely on the to do list. Keep us informed in how you do.

That's probably the 5 I'd go after (maybe swap Chattahoochee, which I'd never heard of, for Redeye for convenience). I'm pretty sure Georgia has more black bass species than any other state.

It suggests there are small mouth in the Hooch. News to me. I've never caught one but would love to. Still can't imagine, pound for pound, anything harder hitting than a spotted.

Agreed, never seen or heard of smallies there and spots definitely punch above their weight.

Been thinking about something like this myself, largemouth and spots I got but really want to get a shoal. Been fishing Acworth and Etowah for convenience but need to go south for that shoal bass.

Good post, like the map.

There are small mouths in the Hooch....Actually most of the Shoalie's you catch south of Morgan falls are all Small Mouth Hybrids mixed with Shoal. This hybrid species was caused by people trying to transplant fish in other parts of the rivers to try and get them to populate.

My son and I have caught shoalies on the Etowah. IMHO they are the hardest fighting of all the bass I've caught.
