It kind of looks like a tilapia, but we have cold winters.
Can anyone positively identify it?

Somebody dumped their aquarium fish?

You should submit your fish to Texas Parks&Wildlife who has the official records of all Texas Water bodies!

Caught one that looked just like that on Squaw Creek, I thought it was a tilapia.

BTW, the black crappie record with a picture is actually a male white crappie. They get dark like that during the spawn. The dark vertical bars indicate that it is a white crappie.

I see that it hit a Ned rig. I've caught all kinds of random fish on those things.

Very good call. Didn't know we had them in Texas. I only knew them from Florida. Interesting catch for sure!!
