I agree completely. My problem is not enough time to do that. With church, two jobs, kids, and farm animals, my time is limited. I would like to get a good number of larger BG...but you are right. It would be easy to get some from the surrounding lakes or ponds. But with pond time limited, its hard. I could take my pick, Greeson, Millwood, Dierks, Gillham, Grannis, Degray...all within an hour from me. If I try tilapia, picking up some big BG from them while I was there would be the way though...imho.
