Monty:

How many pounds of catfish would your wife be cooking per meal?

What size of catfish does she like to cook?

The reason for asking is that a pond can only support so much biomass. Exceed that, and you will have water quality and algae problems, eventually leading to a massive fish kill.

Listen to the guys here, they don't have a financial stake in your pond. The fish sellers won't replace your fish if you have a massive fish kill due to overstocking.

I see that you are going to feed. Do you have an aeration system for your pond? If you don't, with that biomass you will need one if you hope to have a chance on keeping all those fish alive.
