Nice TM!! I just picked one up yesterday it's about 6-7" I got it for $24.99.

You'll love him!!!

Wow - never seen them in stores until a few weeks ago - now everyone is getting them.... Weird. I am enjoying mine, too, but am not feeding him a lot - so I can ENJOY him as long as he is smaller. When he's bigger, how can I enjoy him in my pond? So a small diet it is...

I believe laws where changed allowing us to obtain them, because of the whole snakehead debacle! This way if they get big, and people dump them in lakes and rivers, all they are dumping is a sterile native fish.

Nice TMs, I've never seen 'em in any stores around here, I need to move or something...

I found them at a pet shop in Rockford. A month after I got them I found a pet shop in Milwaukee that also had them. The place in Milwaukee also had baby Walleye. I will set up a 70 over winter, with a chiller for some walleye in the spring!!!

Yeah, I'm sure he would. How 'bout it, Zoo? Could you pick one up if I wanted you to? Not trying to derail this thread, sorry. They get big, don't they?

In the wild, over 50 inches!

Define BIG lol yes they get huge.

What I meant was, I'm sure Zoo could tell you where to go. I got mine at a LFS in Mass, too. $25 also.

Mine were 2 inches long on June 27th, the day I got them. Now they are 10 and 9.5 inches long, and eating 2 inch long minnows.

How long do they take to get huge though? ZOO said that he could pick up a gar for me if needed so that's why I said that...

See my last post, they grow much faster than Gar.

Cool fish! Are they active? Or only at feeding time?

Lets just say they conserve energy, LOL! But they do move around, not like my Tiger Shovelnose which has gone 24 hours without ever moving! LOL! The TM's are the most explosive eaters I've ever seen, specially when really hungry! That title use to belong to my Peacock Bass.

Perfect names, Natural Bork Killers.
