Anglers who succeed in earning a Georgia Bass Slam already have earned an accomplishment and some fun rewards, but it’s even more exciting when one wins the Grand Prize for the 2023 Bass Slam.
Out of the 57 anglers that got a Georgia Bass Slam in 2023, the Grand Prize winner was Jason McRae of Duluth, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division.
“If anyone has earned a grand prize for this program, it is certainly Jason McRae,” said Scott Robinson, Chief of the WRD Fisheries Management Section. “Not only is he the only angler to have gotten a Bass Slam all seven years that it has been offered, but he also caught all 10 bass species every year. That is an amazing accomplishment, and we are proud to offer these prizes to him.”
The Bass Slam Grand Prize Winner receives a cooler, camp chair, tackle box and a beautifully framed bass print.
Participants who catch at least five of the different black bass species found in Georgia within a calendar year can have a Georgia Bass Slam. This program recognizes anglers with the knowledge and skill to catch different species of bass in a variety of habitats across the state, while also stimulating interest in the conservation and management of black bass and their habitats.
