It is unlawful to release tilapia in Texas waters. All tilapia must be retained by state law. Not only must they retained, their intestines must be removed. It's state law.
At least my boat and truck are paid for, woo hoo!

There a lot of tilapia in Lake Fairfield. Caught quite a few of them bream fishing this summer.

It is unlawful to release tilapia in Texas waters. All tilapia must be retained by state law. Not only must they retained, their intestines must be removed. It's state law. I think you are part right. If retained , the intestines must be removed . You cannot transport live fish. Nothing says you can't throw back. Think about those folks throwing a cast net at Fairfield. You think they have to stop and gut all those little tilapia? No they don't , just the ones they want to keep. MO

You can stock them in the state of Texas if you get the right permit. Kinda like grass carp. We stocked them in a couple of large ponds at a ranch I used to manage to help control vegetation. They also provide forage for bass.

Private ponds have different rules.

Tilapia is not a game fish, you got lucky you caught them on a Rodin reel, there vegetarians, and it also states in the fish and hunting book. You can't release alive, take home or debut.
Cast it, reel it, jerk it.
