View attachment 1056578My First time ever fishing was a dream come true. Drove 25 keeper fish home to Maryland. They tore each other up in the bins but they made it back alive. Here are a few in the pic below. Youtube video is also. 20150121_212420.jpg

Very cool video I heard that bread is the bait for them, I caught a ton using night crawlers....I caught some that were labiatus looking while some looked like citrinellum, and some looked like mixes so who really knows what they are...
 
Nice,I like the big orange one with the black on it's sides...I realize such fish are well established down in Florida but in removing this group, you've done a small part for the environment.
 
That would be awesome to do. You catch any snakeheads? How well are all those doing in one tank? They show any aggression towards each other with more room?

Thanks eveyone! The fish are doing great. Eating pellets and all. Surprisingly these wild fish fight in spurts and it's not very violent. They actually eat more violently than they fight. They are pretty crowded in my 150 and 240 gallons so the aggression is minimal. The 16" male runs it all. My 18" one died unfortunately.

Awesome video!
 
No snakehead but plenty of peacocks. Those and Talapia are EVERYWHERE!
