i was recently in southern Florida and caught this fish in a lake.. I've been trying to figure out what it was and haven't come up with it. Anybody know?

It's some kind of tilapia (there area a bunch of species). They have gotten loose and are invading all over south Florida. We even have some smimming around SC now!

I was thinking that's what I thought it was, but couldn't find any pics of them that looked similar etc... whatever it was... was a blast to catch..

My guess would be a Mayan Cichlid. Be patient takes a minute for the page to load.
