Default South Africa ? Bass fishing

Chris,

Tillapia is a farm raised fish like a cat fish, it is ussually found
in warmer waters. I was a seafood manager for years at one of our local
grocery stores, and sold the crap out of it. It would come in frozen, a very
small fillet, in fact I believe the tillapia is a vegetarian fish. Very mild
white meat. If you have any decent Mexican restaurants where you are at,
they usually have it on there menu, so give it a try, you will not be
disspapointed.

Check the buffet line and see the girth of the customers. The real

reason
for the huge California fish are the hatchery trout they munch on,

lot's of
nutrient for the energy expended.

The south TX lakes have tilapia in them, the highest amount of protien

in
any food source in the world. That'll grow em big.

I read that same article in Bass times this month. Wonder where in

the
U.S. the next record L.M. Bass will come from. My guess, and it is

just a
guess with no data to back it up, but my guess would be somewhere in


Texas.

Probably in a private pond, or somewhere in the likes of that.

Hmmmm, Tilapia, highest amount of protein in the world. I am not a
workout fanatic, but do hit the iron 5 days a week. I wonder how I
could incorporate Talapia into my diet. YOu have any idea if you can
get Talapia in stores.

Sorry I know it is a little off topic, but I am so sick of eating tuna
:-). And if the bass can benefit from it, why can't I. Dammit, my post
is almost Al-esque

Apparently Lake Okeechobee was full of them. I'd never heard of Tallapia
until we went down there, and people seemed to be targeting them alot.
Didn't know about the protein thing...

Funniest thing that I seen down there were the Jumping Fish...

Same here, but they usually market it under other names - rainbow bass,
orange snapper, etc. Just ask the fish-guy for "tilapia". Beautiful white
flesh & very nutricious.

Got hit on the head with a 3 pound striped mullet once on the Indian River
Lagoon near Melbourne, funny now but not at the time.

Charles, how were the guys "targeting" tilapia? They're algae eaters as far
as I know...
