Tilapia as bait.

[FemoralArchery]

My wife's family raised fish back in the day, 15-20 years ago. They raised catfish and tilapia. The catfish are long gone, but one of their ponds still has a healthy population of tilapia. Most are in the 3 inch range, with a few that would push 6 inches. I know, monsters, they haven't been fed or cared for in any way in at least 15 years.

Would these make suitable bait for catfish? Or anything else? I know I can't use them live, but as cut or whole(dead).
