Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Bluecats, an option?

My experiences with blues is that they will outgrow channels in their third or fourth years. Blue catfish are more predatory than their channel cat cousins, even though they eat fish food. Blues grow much larger than any other fish purposely stocked in a pond. I have seen blues larger than 50 pounds in medium-sized lakes. A fish so large will eat any other fish, including a four or five pound bass. If you stock blue catfish, prepare for their large sizes.
