John G. I still havent seen my CC feeding. Yesterday the grandkids fished for about two hours and they caught one CC. So, it's still a mystery as to whether they are not feeding yet or I don't have anymore! If you've been feeding those fish since you stocked them, you'll be amazed at how big they are. I stocked mine last spring and fed them daily. The last ones we caught back in Sept. were 12-14 inches. I didn't think they could grow that fast! They were 6-8 inches when stocked five months prior. So yours definitely should be big enough to be invited to the fish fry.
