No, you won't. Both of you please desist with this.

My name is ned and I am somewhat computer technically impaired so that's an impossibility. There were lots of pics taken at the bass event some by the Guadalajara Reporter in their article and many photos of very large carp over the years. You can see a group of the bass pics on another local board and that is where I saw them. You are a member of it.

Looks like he was "overruled " by the real experts. They didn't seem to like his opinion very much.

found an even better pic as proof.

Yes you're misinformed. These largemouth were stocked a few years ago in the lake and as in other lakes in Mexico they come from Florida stock that grows fast and comes from warm water. This is from a group of pics from another local board taken some time ago and looks like the weeds west of the Chapala pier. Now obviously there is enough to have a tournament. There have also been some huge carp taken from the lake like this one on the Ajijic pier.

I waited a day to calm down. You can buy all those fish you mention including tilapia caught fresh every day at the fish mongers upstairs in the Chapala Mercado. Agua Milpa has commercial fishing for tilapia which grow up to about 2+ pounds there and a sport fishery for largemouth bass so they obviously get along. Although the bass is called largemouth it's mouth is generally not anatomically large enough to munch on turtles,baby ducks and, i'll throw in eggs too just for fun, along with other birds.If it does happen it's an anomaly and belongs in the Guiness Book of Records and would have to be a very large bass in the 10 pound+ range. I would take those youtube videos you've been watching with a bit of scepticism. Tilapia has become the commercial fish of choice here because of their rapid growth. They are farmed in pens off Mezcala Island as well as on land too.

Yes Sir, I have just had my questions answered concerning water quality in the "gringo paradise" of Chapala. The crooks just keep peddeling 200kUSD houses on what is a just a sewer in disquise. What a sick sick joke. But then is there ANY clean water in Mexico? Please advise. Meanwhile Chapala is off my list. Enjoy life in sewer Gringos!
