On Saturday I picked up 50 pounds of Tilapia from Todd Overton. The 50 pounds was determined by my budget, rather than the size of our 10 acre lake. I hope they will help some with the FA plus provide good eating for the bass. They put 10 lbs each in plastic bags with oxygen, inside of cardboard boxes, which rode well in the back of my SUV.
The size of the fish surprised me as some much have been 8 or 9 inches long, while some were 3 to 4'' long. I expected all smaller fish. Todd advised that I wouldn't have to worry about acclimating them to my pond water, as "they were tough as leather".
