Grant, sure you can stock CC, but I hope you are a better fisherman than I am. I'm having a heck of a time catching the 100+ that are in my pond. I stocked 100 6"-9" CC in May of last year and they are 18" now. There are some in there that are 5 pounds or so, and I know of 4 that are at least 15# as well. Those are probably 5-6 years old.

If you want to catch a hard fighting fish, stock HSB, with FHM and GSH as forage, plus pellet feed them Aquamax 500/600 on a consistent basis and they'll grow quick. Stock 50 to 100/acre.
