Celebrating Great Catches with Angler Awards SOCIAL CIRCLE, Ga. – Last year, 181 anglers reeled in an Angler Award for outstanding catches! You could have made it 182. The Angler Award program recognizes those who catch fish that meet or exceed a specific weight or length for that particular species, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division (WRD).
“Participation in the Georgia Angler Award program has increased significantly, and we continue to be excited to recognize even more Georgia anglers catching some great fish,” says Scott Robinson, Assistant Chief of the WRD Fisheries Management Section. “The Angler Award program has multiple recognition opportunities, including youth and adult anglers, for those catching big bass, and those reeling in the big ones from our Public Fishing Areas.”
