this place has actually told me I can take as many small bass as I want to out of there. I took a couple ice chests full out of there back in the spring when I could transport them alive, and I've cleaned a mess of them as well.
The tilapia are neat because the ones you see are spawning all the time, and you have to annoy them into biting just like spawning bass. Earlier in the spring I saw a bass bed between 2 tilapia beds, and the bass and tilapia would take turns chasing each other away. Made me sad because the male on the bed was 2-3 lbs (a huge fish period for this pond, much less that it was a male), and the female was 6-7; never could get either to bite. I would guess this is the almost 6 lber I posted the pic of last week. The 2 bass were on that bed for about 2 weeks.
Another funny thing is that I think I've caught that lighter tilapia about 3 times this year. It's so easy to see in the pond, and it's the only lighter one I've seen in the pond. It's always in that corner of the pond as well.
