Al, you are pellet feeding the LMB - just a little bit more indirectly.
I wasn't happy about it the first time I saw it, but then I remembered the only reason I'm feeding the CNBG is for forage anyway.
Most of the CNBG getting eaten are smaller (4-5"), so I'm fine with that. I've only seen one XXL CNBG popped, and it looked like a tarpon surfaced when he got got.
