PEACH STATE FACT FOR THE WEEK

A Month For The Record Book

Rock Bass photo by Jimmy Jacobs.

April traditionally has been a good time to find a state-record freshwater fish on the end of your line. In all, seven different such records have been set in past years during this month.

The most recent of those was for Rock Bass. On April 6, 2024, while fishing in South Chickamauga Creek in the northwest of the Peach State, Jeffery Forester set the record for that species. His fish tipped the scales at exactly one pound.
