Max,

See if there is a fish farm close by that sells by the pound.

The ones locally around here sell by the gallon, but I'll be passing by an advertiser here in a couple weeks that sells them by the pound. $6.35/lb and approx. 300 fish/lb. That's a whole lot cheaper than $3.00/dozen up here from a bait shop, and they would be fresh!

Besides, I would like to tour that fish farm.
