I started harvesting my CC this year at 1.5-2# and they are very tasty. They grow fast (put them in two years ago spring) and put up a good fight. Believe it or not I catch most on a 1/32 oz jig with plastic. Can't seem to catch them when I actually fish for catfish. It may have to do with them being pellet fed. I hope to get most of them out by next fall (not likely but that is the goal) or before they get to about 3#. Probably have taken out about 100 of the original 300 stocked so far(3 acres).
That is the good parts to CC. I have yet to experience the bad things many warn of here on PBF, but I suspect I will learn about it the hard way. They do put on meat fast and economically if it is table fare you want.
