Eastland, for the second year in a row, we stocked 50# of Tilapia into our 1/2 Acre pond. Our pond is about 5 years old with some 10# CC and a few 4# LMB.

The best benefit I can say aside from forage and weed control, is the kid fishing. I couldn't keep my own hook in the water with as quickly as my two boys, 5 and 7, were pulling out monster Tilapia from the pond. In just one growing season, these Tilapia were bigger and fought harder than any Crappie or BG I have ever seen. There were several that they could not hardly lift into the paddle boat.

Somehow, I also did not have any floaters at the end of the season to contend with.
