Fishing a ditch for brook trout

This ditch is full of aquatic vegetation so snags are constant but there are some decent ones in here. Really healthy population for such an unnatural environment. Sucks what they did to this stream, maybe one day they’ll restore it.

First brook trout

These guys fight pretty hard. Had a bigger one that I think was 12-14 inches but it jumped out of the water and threw the hook.

Is this a hybrid?

It has a tiny bit of red in the ear flap but it doesn’t look like other redears I’ve caught. It almost looks like a copper nose bluegill x red ear hybrid. what do you guys think?

Spotted or Zebra Tilapia? South Florida

Looking like a zebra tilapia to me but not sure since spotted can look very similar.

What braid for Regal LT 2500?

I recently got a Tatula XT Medium Fast rod with a Regal LT 2500. I’m trying to figure out what line is best for south florida canals and the occasional light salt water. People say 10 pound braid casts a lot further than 20 pound but I might try to go for snakeheads in spots with more vegetation. Do I actually need a stronger braid or is it over kill? Not sure what braid is ideal for this setup.

Also I’m confused with the specifications of the Regal LT 2500 and how much power pro 10/15/20/30 pound braid I would actually need.

Red Eared Slider? What could have damaged it? [Florida]

Had a big hole on its side and it wasn’t reacting much. Guessing there’s no coming back from an injury like that. My only guess is an alligator.
