somebody once told me they didn't think catfish spawned very well in a pond. WEll THEY DID IN MINE!My goal is to remove 5000 lbs this year there are so many of all sizes I'm not sure its even making dent. The rule is every catfish that is caught must be removed which has been hard for my father in law to watch when after cleaning 100 lbs of fish the rest get tossed on the bank!
