Bill,

Contact Mike Robinson. He would know as he is a major bait supplier in the Midwest. There is alos a major bait supplier in Wisconsin know as Galon or something. However I don't recall anyone selling them as bait.

One possiblity is to contact a local state biologist and find out if they are common in any bodies of water in your area. I did this when bullhead Bob was looking for yellow bullhead and a local biologist told me what lakes in the are they were common in. In fact, he said sometimes they collect fish for university research studies when the are doing lake surveys.

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