Texas Blues

[Playville Cole]

I live in Slidell, La. recently I visited a frend who lives in a suddivision that has a man made lake, Lake Bullard. Prior to Hurricane Katrina the lake had been stock with bass and blue gill. I had been hearing tales of a tropical looking fish that was now showing up. I fished the lake and caught about 50 fish some weighting as much as 3/4 quartes of a pound the lake is loaded. I was told later they were Texas Blue perch. My question is where did they come from no one I spoke to seems to know and are they good to eat?
