Tilapia pic - 11/03/08 08:36 PM
I was pleased to catch this Tilapia yesterday, especially knowing that they begin to die off when the weather gets colder. This fish was 14 inches and weighed just over 3 lbs. I caught it on a nighcrawler. I didn't think that these fish could be caught - but if anyone has bait suggestions I would love to hear them. We eat store bought Tilapia all the time and I was curious if this fish would taste the same or "fishy". It did tast different...it was better! Super white flesh and tender. We like to cook our Tilapia in butter and lemon juice in a saute pan with italian breadcrumbs sprinkled on the top of them. I sure hope I can catch more before they die!
I have seen a couple albinos swimming around that must be 20 inches and 5-6 lbs. Crossbow?
