Well Big_Pond I have an answer to your question as to which species of catfish grows faster. On Wed November 5, I caught about twelve catfish a combination of blue and channel. All of the fish were about the same size around three to four pounds a piece.
While taking fish number twelve off of the hook, my other rod went flying through the air and was just about in the water when I grabbed it. The result was a 8lbs. Channel cat. I couldn't find my digital camera, but I did get some regular photos of the fish. I guess I'll scan them at work and put him on the site to show ya'll I am not full of it.
Now mind you that this pond was stocked in June of '02 so that is a lot of growing in a short period of time and I have the feed bill to prove it!
