Captain Underpants Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 I sure hope you didn't let it go! If its a sunfish-any kind-its a record!!!!! Quote
tallydude Posted October 20, 2006 Author Posted October 20, 2006 Yup, I let her go. I know where she swims, though, so who knows? Maybe I'll get her again one day. Quote
Tom Bass Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 May I recommend a bath in raw egg, dipping the meat in flour with lots of salt and pepper and fried until golden brown the next time you encounter it? ;D Quote
BassKing813 Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Tilapia is out! Tilapia eat photoplankton and diminuitive plantlife, they do not hit lures. Many thousands of fishermen wish that tilapia did hit lures, myself included Roger I have found that tilapia are very easy to catch with lures. What always works for me is to fish for them during the spawn. What I do is sight fish when they are on the beds and cast a 3in white grub with pink tail with a little split shot well past the bed. Then I slowly reel it up to the bed and let it drop in on the fish. If it hasn't seen you, the tilapia will pick the grub up in its mouth in an attempt to remove it from the nest. Once that occurs, set the hook and hang on! Quote
BooyahSpinnerbaits12321 Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 That is a talapia i see them everywhere Quote
etommy28 Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 it would be an odd looking tilapia, but it could be, but I would guess a mayan, but with out a pic of the tail it is hard to tell, as the other pic shows mayans can get very large. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted May 31, 2009 Super User Posted May 31, 2009 Dang dude, you dug deep into the archives for this one. Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted May 31, 2009 Super User Posted May 31, 2009 Look up Blue Tilapia. I think that may be what it is. Quote
DawsonH Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Its a tilapia. We sell whole frozen ones where I work. You could freeze him and put him in the bag with them and that would be a perfect fit. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 31, 2009 Super User Posted May 31, 2009 That is a blue tilapia and I have caught them on crappie jigs, I understand they may hit 10#. There is also a spotted tilapia, smaller. These fish are not too aggressive and I've only caught them by chance. Hale's photo is a mayan cichlid, very aggressive and fight like the devil, much like a peacock, I have caught them 2# on ul........ Quote
Krzkev Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Yes, the blue tilapia is what you've got there. Here's a couple of 3#ers. Quote
mpspeer Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Tilapia is my vote as well. On another note, please take that UK hat off, go cardinals. Quote
George Welcome Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Blue Tilapia What you have there is common tilapia. Quote
