Pondrookie,
Several fish suppliers, including Todd Overton, have them. The problem is that they do not respond well to handling in our summer time temps.
The problem is so severe that most fish suppliers here will not sell them or handle them in the summer months. I have spoken with several reputable dealers that have told me that those that sell them in the summer are really not doing the customer a service. The fellow in Tyler, Bob, who is widely respected for his knowledge told me that reputable dealers won't sell them in the summer.
If you go to the TP&W page on grass carp, they list the approved suppliers for Texas..but again I caution you to wait until cooler temps this fall...that's what I am doing.
p.s. Like HT, I also thank Kelly for the pictures. If I had those I would have known mine was bushy pondweed also.
