That sunfish caught by your in-law does look to have longear sunfish genetics. Your observations about blues and channels in your ponds is interesting. More research needs to be done on feeding habits of catfish in ponds with ample numbers of various types of forage fish. Thanks for sharing your past experiences.
No, thank you. Cats are about all I know about. If this pond holds up, it will be the first one I've had that has good bream in it. I'm glad I posted here because I had no idea HSB would eat feed over fish! If I put in LMB and, in a few years, I decide I don't want them in there, how hard is it to catch most of them out?
