THEY'RE DESTROYING OUR RIVERS - Chasing the Tallapoosa Bass + GIVEAWAY

[@upcominganglers]

This bass look amazing bro , great species hunt

[@FIREbirdaustin]

Thanks bro!! I’ll have that bass slam soon enough!

[@PAWMANSBASSING]

Keep grinding out there brother!!! Alway a blast getting out and catching multiple species!!! That catch from the bridge lol

[@FIREbirdaustin]

Thanks Paw, you too! Any day catching fish is a great day! Tight lines

[@basicguy99]

DNR stocks a couple of creeks in west GA that feed into the Tallapoosa, probably how it got there. Nice find.

[@lyndsieholt1953]

I can’t believe how that fish double hooked itself! The whopper plopper was twice his size!

[@FIREbirdaustin]

I know! These red bellies are relentless!

[@GeorgiaBassmaster]

The DNR stocks trout in a few creeks that feed into the tallapoosa river. Doesn't effect the river too much because they normally die by the time they make it to the tallapoosa river.

[@FIREbirdaustin]

Really? I couldn’t find any information about this online

[@FIREbirdaustin]

Plus I couldn’t find any areas of public land at any of the feeder creeks. Unless they are stocking under a kayak launch or bridge, i dont know where else they’d do this. Either way I’ve been fishing here for a while and never seen any in there. Surprised the mess outta me to see a trout that far south

[@bullseyepete8367]

I'm going after a tallapoosa bass tomorrow 😊

[@FIREbirdaustin]

How’d you do!?

[@bullseyepete8367]

@@FIREbirdaustin ended up with 5 that day. My best day on the poosa 😉. I'm new to the area and bass fishing in general. Pretty sure 2 were poosa bass. But I'm not good at classifying them.

[@FIREbirdaustin]

@bullseyepete8367 5 isn’t bad for the Georgia side of the Tallapoosa River. The fish are always finicky in there. Telling the difference between species is challenging and comes easier with time. Plus it doesn’t help that they always hybridize on the Georgia side. It could have something to do with soil erosion. That’s what I’ve heard but don’t fully understand it. Have you gotten the bass slam this year?

[@bullseyepete8367]

@@FIREbirdaustin I was on Alabama side. I'm no where near a slam. For sure have shoal, spot, possibly coosa, poosa, and Alabama

[@FIREbirdaustin]

Man, all you need is 5 to enter!

Thanks man! That was cool haha

[@funsizesnack0765]

My favorite part was when you got the red belly on the whopper plopper it was so unexpected

[@FIREbirdaustin]

Right? Those things just don’t quit!

[@nateblair561]

Amazing

[@FIREbirdaustin]

Thank you!

[@spencerisacutie5609]

My favorite part is when you caught that “monster” bass on the rooster tail, hope I win that mtb need some new baits

[@FIREbirdaustin]

Yea rooster tails can catch some tiny fish haha

[@spencerisacutie5609]

@@FIREbirdaustin yeah I’ve caught some of my smallest fish on them

[@FIREbirdaustin]

Same, but you’d be surprised cause I’ve also had bass as big as 3lbs bite them so you never know what you’re going to catch with them

[@spencerisacutie5609]

@@FIREbirdaustin yeah I’ve caught some nice crappie with them

[@People-are-strange85]

Lots of bowfin where your at. Carrollton, that's actually the little Tallapoosa

[@FIREbirdaustin]

I love catching bowfin!! They always look like they’re smiling haha

[@codycampbellfishing2007]

I wish i was closer to Shoalie Redeye and Tallapoosa territory but im down in the south part of GA we have shoalies just rare lol

[@FIREbirdaustin]

It’s at least an hour drive from me to catch any of em (besides largemouth and spots) but I live for the chase!
