Pat, Funny thing is it seems to be the most cold tolerant of all th fish I have messed around with so far. We had two nights in the high 20's and all the tilapia in the pond are laying down in the mud trying to stay warm. She was up actively feeding. I have caught them in shallow cold winter water actively feeding. I am wondering if they might tolerate a texas pond winter. You might try it out... Head out to the gulf and catch a few.

Going to look into getting some. That would be another great predator to have in the pond as an equalizer to the bass

So that fish has matched the color of the sandy bottom and isn't partially buried? I knew they could do that but that is amazing!

I've caught them in the Atlantic off the coast of Maine so no surprise the fish is cold tolerant. One of the best tasting fish I have ever eaten.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Dude, everything about this is simply amazing - and ground breaking. What else can you do fishery wise? Let's try more species, build a fishery of fresh and salt water species.

Great photo Bobby, love what you've been doing. There's so much more than just bass and BG for a pond...
