Today we're fishing an upland stream in the Chattahoochee River drainage because we're targeting Chattahoochee Bass for the 2024 Georgia Bass Slam. The Chattahoochee Bass is an upland species of black bass and a member of the sunfish family Centrarchidae. Chattahoochee Bass are only native to the Chattahoochee River drainage above the Fall Line and there are only three native species of black bass in the Chattahoochee River drainage-the Chattahoochee Bass (which is the upland species), the Shoal Bass, and the Largemouth Bass. Habitat loss resulting from land-use changes and hybridization with illegally introduced/nonnative species of black bass are the greatest threats to this species.
Chattahoochee Bass feed mainly on crayfish, insects, other invertebrates and fish.
Average size for the Chattahoochee Bass is around 8 inches and they max out around 12 inches.
I hope you like the video and as always...
