Got some great adult size "Albino Cats" today.
They are from Brandon Willner at Texas Fishing LLC in Caddo Mills, Texas
Brandon is a nice young man that runs a "pay to fish" farm as well as selling fish.https://www.ufishtx.com/

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Dave I wasn't there but I believe around 60 in a couple of my ponds...this Spring we have kind of shifted away from primarily fishing by casting artificial baits non-stop for black bass....to more using live bait and a bobber and catching different kinds of fish. It's been fun. I guess my goals are poles being bent by anything vs trophy fish.

So you just decided to have fun. That’s what it’s all about to me

That’s what it’s all about to me exactly Dave...lol last week as I sat in the recliner the wife said about 7:30PM before dark "aren't we going fishing?"....i said ok....we both put a minnow on and both had a fish within 15 seconds....we might cast a lure 30 mins and not get a bite.

I went to great pains to establish some albino CC in the spring of 2016. Stocked 14. I still had eleven in fall 2017, and I had one to almost 7 pounds when the otters came in December 2017 and got every one of them, in addition to the non albino CC.

John it's tough to do because most hatcheries/fish sellers don't sell them. I think they are a pretty cool, unique looking fish.
The dang otters are just about #1 on my enemies list. The problem with those rascals is they can do tons of damage and for the most part you can't see them especially if the property is a weekend get-away. I thought we saw one at sundown last night swimming fast across the pond right towards us, but it ended up being a large water snake.
