Fully agree Eric. When I got into this I went back and purchased the entire PB catalog of magazines. It was fun to read 'back in the day' that those Tilapia were frowned upon. Today, they're more of a staple in bass forage.

Even some of the cool stuff that Greg Grimes is doing with 3-4x the normal amount of forage is intriguing. If people weren't experimenting this hobby wouldn't have grown.

Personally, one day I want to have a pond dedicated to trophy LMB (give me a few years), and I promise I will stock those nasty smelly slimy big GShad in it. \:\)
