Finally!! another catfish topic man its been too long since we had one of these. The only two catfish I know that get to trophy size are Blues and Flatheads. I remeber on a post about a year ago, a guy grew his blues to 8 lbs in 18 months!! He said his secret was haveing his lake stocked heavily with bait fish, like fathead minnows threadfin shad and Gizzard shad. By the way these are the same elements used to grow trophy Bass as well, it is not different with the cats...
