Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Fly Fishing & Other Fish Species James Holt family's beautiful pond.

Thanks to the Holt family and their incredible hospitality. This is from last year, and it's a photo of my dad with a tilapia.

thanks bruce. how is your dad! He is a great guy. The water is finally clear look how muddy it is in the picture

Dad's doing great. He's disappointed that he hasn't been able to ice fish this year, but he's excited about the pontoon boat we're buying. We'll be able to fish in our backyard at all times.

Two things I didn't realize --

1. I didn't realize that tilapia were such pretty fish. I know there are quite a few different strains of Tilapia -- what kind is that? And are the other strains as fancy and pretty?

2. Bruce's dad must have some really strong genes. When I saw the photo, I just assumed it was Bruce. That picture really shows how much those two look alike.

And James, that is one nice looking pond in the background. How is the catfish population these days? Are they winning, or are you winning?

I think i am finally making a dent in the catfish since we keep every catfish we catch.its just a regular texas tilapia that came from muddy water making it white

James, do you or anyone on here have plans on how to build a cool fish cleaning station for my boathouse? Looking for creative geewizz type ideas! Thanks! George Spann
