heyyyyyyy sound good, how do i get the juice? buy it? squeeze it?
Easiest is to buy a jar of minced garlic and sqeezew out the juice, otherwise just use a garlic press, it doesn,t take a lot of juice and you can always mince the garlic that is left and cook with it.

I think you are taking a risk not to mention you are messing with the eco system. Feeders are not that expensive. Don't be cheep buy fedders.

In many places, like the west coast the sunnies are planted invaders and not natives, also sunnies are notorius for overpopulating and then stunting so removing smaller individuals actually encoures growth in those that remain. You should check your specie though and avoid the uncommon types like pygmies or blue spots. Yes there is a risk but from clean waters it is less than from commercial gf.

when my buddies peacock ate his smaller channel cat, the catfish's back fin got snagged in its throat and we had to remove the catfish from it using pliers, catfish have one big back spine bone probably is a deterrent to other fish
they also have pectoral fins of the same pointy type.
