I recently, earlier this year, got this from TubeDude. Pic is of a 17 1/2 " guy I caught there several years ago. Caught another the next year. Oh well. [frown]

[#0000ff]Sorry to be the bearer of more bad news. DWR promoted a one day spearfishing event at Blue Lakes...focusing on the big tilapia. There were quite a few killed and not many left.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]From what I hear there are not many tilapia allowed to grow to be any size in the small ponds. They are caught out as fast as they get big enough to get the hook in their mouths.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Looks like the best tilapia times are over.[/#0000ff]
