I kind of did the same thing Bill. Fell down on the angling part later in the season. We took a bunch out early in the year and have more fish in the freezer than we will eat (maybe need to have a fish fry and invite some friends) and I was having fun catching BG so just did not get the cats out I anticipated. I'll blame it on Carolynn. She is the one that usually fishes for the CC and she fell down on the job. Kind of literally (had a knee replaced and slowed her down a little).

There is no chance of extripating the CC in our pond. I have two year classes or recruitment. Only a few of the larger size but I have caught (while fishing for BG) at least a dozen 6" CC and moved them to the old pond. Definitely not going to get rid of the CC which is fine. They are sure good eating and get a lot more meat from a 3# CC than a 3/4# BG.
