Jaybird needed help maneuvering his way through the onslaught of capitalistic opportunities coming his way, so he turned to the man who always did his heavy thinking for him. Holding up a giant gar he just fought and landed, Junior had the answer: “Simple. Banks and other commercial lending institutions will jump at the chance to finance this enterprise, so we need to borrow whatever amount is necessary to build more ponds.
“And since sports anglers are interested in catching trophy fish like this one, we need to set aside a certain number of ponds in which the gar are fed several times daily so that they will grow quickly into trophies. Of course, the balance of the ponds will have to be reserved for raising fingerling gar and producing filleting-size market gar.” With this plan in mind, the two men began converting all of their farmland into a sprawling gar pond complex. Meanwhile, the opportunities for making big bucks hand-over-fist just kept coming their way.
