Species 10 & Georgia Bass Slam


 I added species 10 for 2026, but not much else about the catch was noteworthy. It was a spottail shiner and was only a bit larger than the lure. That said, it was hooked in the mouth so apparently it tried to eat my lure.

I had a video clip of the catch, which I would have liked for grabbing a photo and maybe for novel entertainment value, but I accidentally deleted the file.

More noteworthy on the same outing, I caught a couple of ahoal bass, one of which was a little more than16 inches, which makes it a qualifying fish for the Georgia Bass Slam.

That is slam species number two for me. The requirement for achieving the Georgia Bass Slam is to catch qualifying fish of at least five black bass species. 

I catch largemouth and spotted bass pretty much every year in Georgia, so those feel almost free. So that means I’ll really only need to actively pursue one other species. Considering that it’s only March, I feel pretty good about my chances of achieving the Georgia Bass Slam again in 2026!
