Bass Slam Quest
The above Chart was evidently done before the Cahaba, and Warrior were declared seperate.
I have had a long desire to catch all of the Black Bass subspecies. The species are Northern Largemouth, Florida Bass, Smallmouth, Northern Spotted, Alabama bass, Suwanee, Guadalupe, Shoal Bass, Choctaw and the 7 Redeye species which are The Coosa Redeye, The Bartram's, Chattahoochee, Altamahaw, Warrior, Cahaba, and Tallapoosa Bass .
So far (Feb 2023) I have caught Northern Largemouth, Florida Largemouth, Smallmouth, Northern Spotted, Alabama Spot, Suwannee, Shoal bass, Coosa and the Bartrams.
This article will be updated peridiocally as I catch more or add to it.
Bartram's Bass
May 2017 I made a trip to South Carolina to get the Bartram's Bass off of this bucket list. I would of been happy with any size and the first 2 I caught were only 5-6 inches and the next two were 11-12 inches. I have included my You Tube video of this and just to let you know my wife caught the Biggest. OUCH! it may have been 13 inches but a 13 inch Bartram's is a good one. It was a nice day on a wonderful river. The redbreast has some of the strangest color markings I have seen with the red/yellow breast going all the way to the tail. It was a wonderful trip.Bartram's Bass from the Chauga River in South Carolina
I caught this one and several like it
My Wife of Course caught the biggest.

Shoal Bass
I caught My Shoalie ( Shoal bass ) in May of 2012. this was a fun trip made with some good friends.
We camped on the Flint River near Thomaston Ga and I caught several Shoalies.
You can view my blog post here on that camping trip and my Quest for a Shoal Bass here
Coosa Bass
April of 2022 I decided to try and get the Coosa bass off of my bucket list.
This Brought me to Rockmart Ga where I fished Eurhalee Creek ( A Tributary of the Etowah River) and while the fishing was tough I did manage 3 with 1 being a very nice one.. This is as big as they get.

Suwannee Bass
January of 2023 I decided to go after the Suwanne Bass. The Sante Fe River near High Springs would be the area I was going to fish. I camped at Ginnie Springs and fished upriver day 1 and down river day 2 . I only caught 1 Suwannee Bass but thats all I needed. This was and awesome trip.
