What are those black or dark colored fish darting around in Lake Athens? Looks and acts almost like Tilapia, about 12 inches long and going too fast to ID. I was seeing the crazy things hauling azz toward the boat and out of sight just below the surface. Hopefully just giant Black Crappie.

No idea what they are, but I do know that Athens has a good population of BIG sunfish/redears.

I've seen guys fly fishing out there before. I see now why they do it.
The ones I saw swimming around in there were twice that size. And that's a biggun.
