I think it is a great idea, and I actually have a tank I was planning on trying to raise some in my garage, but with my 3rd child due in December, changing jobs, and just trying to keep the wife happy I have put that on hold.<br />
<br />
Many say you can save money by raising them yourself, but I think that is if you need them in large numbers or possible sell a few to recoup some costs.<br />
<br />
But as far as an interesting hobby I do not think you could go wrong.<br />
<br />
I still plan to keep some if I stock them this…

I still plan to keep some if I stock them this spring just to grow them out to eat, stock in a pond full of bass (must be larger so not to get eaten), or even see if they will spawn in the tank.<br />
<br />
But that is a few months away and much can change by then.<br />
<br />
Just keep the pics coming of the ones you are catching now.<br />
<br />
By the way have you noticed if the males are lighter in color than the females?<br />
<br />
Also you mentioned one was full of eggs, did you let it go, or at least dump out the eggs? And what would be the fun of…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2010-10-20:2036984:Comment:1066202010-10-20T15:03:01.688ZMagnolia Rickhttps://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/RickMowery
And what would be the fun of that? They would still have offsprings I could sale to people in Ark. lol It just a though. Remember mawmaw don't let me out much so I have to find thing like this to keep me out of trouble.

This will be an interesting project to follow and I hope you keep us posted with pictures.<br />
<br />
But would it not be cheaper to just purchase some Tilapia each year?

I made a cage once out of a rabbit cage by covering it with screen, and floating it in my pond. I wanted my new coppernose bg to get a little bigger before I released them so they wouldn't get eaten. I have no idea how they got out, but every one of them did. Your idea looks like it would work a lot better.

3/4" might mean you've got like R-6 walls. If you filled up that open stud space with insulation, MJ wouldn't have to wear a hat.
