Just trying to figure if I messed up or should I be still OK.
Subject... Catfish.
Threw out the stockings I put 311 channel cats, of those, I know 11 or so died. I figure there could be as many as 300 of various sizes. My pond is about 3/4a.
You think I got to many?
What the heck are they eating to be fat as pigs and never eating the pellets?
Joey, about 5 years ago we made a big mistake by (over)stocking about the same numbers that you stocked in our ~2 acre pond and still having trouble removing them.
Son Jeff caught a 13.5 pounder on a trot line yesterday but unfortunately also a 5# LMB, so thats not going to work.
Gotta come up with some other way to catch them - those buggers are smart and hook shy..
