I like the idea of channel cat. Use a feeder and they grow quickly. With a feeder you could do a minimum of 50 and eat them quite regularly. There will always be a couple that are hook shy and will get large. For the most part you can start eating them the year after you stock them at 1 to 1.5 pounds. Add some bluegills for natural food and fun fishing.

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.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
