Move west, Calgary and Vancouver are great for monster fish. I've seen Pbass go for cheap prices as juvies, I've seen motoro's go for just over 100 dollars. It also helps that I can list about 6 LFS here in Calgary that have really good monster stock.
I will definitely have to make a road trip then. Toronto is the closest Monster LFS but even then I find their stock overpriced and limited... The snake head idea isn't a bad one either.
