Bobad,
They were not pellet trained, they were fed fish meal at the hatchery. They tried the pellets, but soon gave up, now it is anything they can catch. They give the tilapia fits, if I hook a tilapia about 3/4s of the time it will lose a piece of a fin on the way to the net.
This is the first one I have caught since the one pictured at the beginning of the thread.
Jeff, this is only the second fish I have caught in a while we have been busy with a building project. The other was a carp. The pacu are between 9 and 10 pounds. The major part of the project should be finished this month and I will get back to fishing.
Correction on the age, they have been in the pond 3 years this month.
