Ken thank you for the comments! I wish that i had read them when I was stocking my pond I would never have stocked catfish. I had read somewhere that catfish very rarely reproduce in a pond and are more of a put and take species that is easy to control due to the fact they dont reproduce well in a bass heavy pond. Wow how far from the truth that has been! they have really taken a toll on my pellets and my forage. We remove every single one we catch which really keeps the racoons and buzzards well fed. your right they are fun to catch and good to eat but they are very invasive breeders!
