Thats very true. Channels up to 2 pounds usally stick with small fish, invertabrates(spelling?), and crawdads. When they get to 3pounds or higher it is a different story. On a catfish pond with only living things to eat(no pellets), i think bluegill, fathead, redear and crawdad combo will suit these fish well. If you had a blue cat pond, i think the pond should have everything the channel catfish pond has plus threadfin shad. Blue cats are suited for open water hunting so threadfin will help there.
