Thanks for the additional recipe ideas!
My side of the family all have cast iron stomachs - except for me.
The gumbo and jambalaya my wife and I eat would probably get us thrown out of Louisiana!
I remember lots of threads on Pond Boss from the members about using their tilapia for pond management. I don't remember a good one about catching finicky tilapia.
Maybe yours are just so happy in your pond that they don't need to hit any Stubby Steves.
