I think the threads that morph into areas unrelated to the original query are often the ones that yield the best, albeit unrelated to topic, information.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

I'm all ears for Cody tales...or create separate post.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Dudes, I very much respect Bill and won't expose anything that might embarrass him. I will ask him if he don't mind my telling the Dis story. Stay tuned.

Gentlemen...I can only offer one piece of advice...even if you are only going a mile and are in a hurry, never drive an old Ford Jubilee tractor at top speed with the front end loader all the way up filled to capacity with locust fence posts not tied down over a railroad track. I'd love to have an old restored Ford Jubilee tractor for the farm. Got a couple places west of me between Esshup and I that probably has one. They have acres and acres of old tractors. Thanks, Cecil...you think they have a website?
...when in doubt...set the hook...

I'd love to have an old restored Ford Jubilee tractor for the farm. If it's a sentimental thing, than I totally understand. If you will be using it for work, I would probably try and hold out for something with live power...which the Jubilee could have, but not very likely. It might have live hydraulics, but again maybe not. I have an 801 series Ford, sort of a Jubilee's bigger brother, and while I like it, and it does work hard for me, its days here are numbered. I will be trading if off for a 4WD with live power and hydraulics, and a front end loader that doesn't require a day's work out of three men and a boy to install. The newer tractors are so much more user-friendly. Sparkplug, Yes, the Jubilee would be for nostalgic reasons. The old iron horses have done their time. For me it would be like owning a classic car...mostly for pleasure and show. For work on the farm, I have a 4wd Kubota with loader. Charlie

If you plug that address in Google Earth, the lot on the NW corner of the intersection is where Polk has their tractor/farm equipment auctions. They have at least 2 auctions a year that I know of, maybe more. They are huge, and usually their auction site approximately 13 acres is packed with equipment. http://www.polkauction.com/

IMHO There are a lot of similar threads I read that are really interesting but, when I got to the end, that final post that closes the loop and lets me know what the outcome was, is missing. Makes it hard to learn from someone else's experience if they don't provide the result!

I am in southeast Georgia and we call them cypress trout. They get pretty good size and like everybody says they hit like a truck and are aggressive. When we fish the okefenokee we target them since that jackfish is about all there is unless you want some warmouth. I have a couple of ponds on my land. one a little over year ago but in some catfish and bluegill and whatever was already there. Caught a bowfin the other day out of it. Did not think there was any in it. I know way way back when I was a kid I would catch fish out of one pond and just throw them in the biggest one which is where I put the catfish and bluegill. I know there are some bass in there and now bowfin I wonder if those jackfish I put in there twenty years ago are still there also. lol. must not be many in it because I have way way too many bluegills and my bass are still skinny. Then the other day my cousins boy down there at pond and saw a otter. Now that can not be good. I told him when he is down there duck hunting and if he sees him to take care of it for me. lol...

So, what was the question?
Bowfin will compete with LMB for food. So, if the LMB are skinny, you are already low on forage for them.......
