All we have in VA is carp, longnose gar, bowfin, and northern snakehead. The gar are probably the tastiest because I heard they taste like lobster.

Looks like a lot of fun. We have one power plant cooling lake near here that has tilapia in it. They don't get much bigger than bluegills here, but they sure taste good.

I saw some big tilapia in a pond near Charleston last week-didn't realize they lived that far north without being in a powerplant cooling lake. These were biguns, and they were on their spawning beds-I was wishing I had a bow with me.

 If the Lake has deep water they can make it through some pretty cold spells. It gets in the Teen's down here in Lakeland and we have enough to support a commercial netting economy.

     They are all over in the canals, in Palm Beach county.  The ones you buy in the stores, are mostly from China, or farm raised here, and you don't want to know what they feed them. :o
