Near each pond, a holding tank would be stocked with the gar’s primary food source — minnows. Knowing gars prefer injured minnows because they are easier to catch, Junior’s blueprint included submerged, multi-bladed industrial fans through which the hapless minnows would have to pass. With culverts attached to their inlet and exit sides, the fans would blast a minnow-filled torrent across the ponds’ surfaces when activated. Most of the hapless little fishes passing through the fan blades would be injured, turning them into gar haute cuisine.
