Caught one tilapia a few nights ago and 3 more this evening. Sixteen pounds - 4 fish - added to the fish tank! Caught the first one on a chunk of hot dog and the three this evening on free lined bread crust floated on the surface of my back yard canal! Four less invasive species in the local ecology and 16 pounds of prime breeders in my ap fish tank! Life in south Florida is good!

Re: 4 additions to the fish tank!
Nice fish!! Is that brackish water your catching them in? I like the size of those suckers, but I'd be leary of eating them due to the runoff of such nice pollutants we add to our local water supply. Probably why they are so f'in big!!! Congrats on the catch though! I thought about catching some myself for my system.

Re: 4 additions to the fish tank!
Have a lake close by full of them but no fishing until Memorial Day since it's a city park. Plenty of plecos too.
People cry because they are sad. For example, I cry because other people are stupid, and that makes me sad.

Fresh water. Our fresh water canals are elevated above the salt canals and separated by weirs. I have no problem eating wild caught fish from our canal system. The same rain fills them that fills the natural rivers and streams.

City created lake, city park, city rules. The city stocked it with them to eat vegetation and they outpaced everything else that was in the lake. Originally Posted by FloridaChris

We lost an ENORMOUS tilapia last night, but managed to land this smaller one which is still a nice addition to the fish tank!
