I have caught 2 that would have gone maybe a pound, I can't amazon how the fight was. A 1 pounder is a great fight, congrats!
What bait do you use to catch tilapia? Got a lot of them in a pond near me.

JR, I believe that this was an odd opportunity. They are vegetarian so I think if the jig had been any bigger I would never have gotten the hit. The jig is a 1/43 bare head with a very tiny bit of maribou and a #8 sickle hook. Like I like to say, a little dumb luck doesn’t hurt.

You need to tie up a good Tilapia jig.......but how do you get it to look like a water weed???????

Crappieday, if I knew what the winning combo was I’d be tying them by the dozens! I could have used you in the boat right about then.
