Default Fish in Lake Sumter?

While on the Boardwalk At Lake Stumpter Landing when we visited the Villages noticed big holes in the shallow water. In these holes was fish (strange to me) had the mouth of large mouth bass, shaped kinda like bass, had scales like Carp, and light Blueish around the Mouth. They fanned out the hole like Bluegill would to make nest, except these holes were hugh looked like inpact craters. I goggled these fish (couse if you don't know the names does do much good) Native Fish of Florida with no results. Figure d it was imported, but don't know? Anybody know what name of those fish are???? I asked around and I guess everybody I asked was tourist also or they just noticed them.

I am sorry. I kid everyone about this. And I don't think there is NO pee in Lake Sumter. The talapia have to go potty somewhere.

Just pokin' a little fun. That is simply my line. I have a tee shirt that says that. Didn't mean to "get after you", honest injun. Friends?

Gracie you are slipping. Check the OP's original spelling. You need to tell him there is no TP in Lake Sumter, a whole different discussion.

When you see their diet, you may never want to eat Tilapia again.

NO, NOOoooo. I am holding my ears. I like Talapia. I get so grossed out just watching House Hunters International when they show weird food at the food markets in exotic areas.

Yuck. Please don't tell me more.

I am glad that the OP has kinda forgiven me. I am such a smart mouth sometimes. My mother pointed that out to me more than once..

Maybe so, but your crack about the drunks and pee in Lake Sumter made me laugh. You have added a new angle to the NPILS ongoing forum component. Some things on this forum just catch on and STICK!

Ahem, got anything to add to the dog pee/poop issue? How about roundabouts, bicycling, landscapers, how to walk on the streets, and, and, and... We appreciate fresh humor!
