I had very big CC and I found it easy to catch them. I fed my fish from my deck everyday and the CC were the first to show up and ate like hogs. I took a stout 5 ft piece of pvc pipe with a short 50 lb test trolling line tied to it and a bated treble hook on the line, and drop it infront of the CC I wanted. It looked like those guys on TV bringing tuna into a fishing boat.
