b-pond - I do not have any "real" influence on what goes into the magazine. Plus I am not real knowledgable about raising large cats in smaller ponds. The magazine editor, Bob Lusk, probably has the most in depth experience with raising big catfish. I may see Bob in the next couple of months and I will try to remember to lobby in your behalf for an article about those big cats. It may take him some time (up to 6-10 months) to prepare a quality article with pictures and data. Currently he is very busy making a living managing ponds AND a new wife so he can subsidize (edit) the PBoss magazine and this FREE website. He is so busy we rarely see him here during the "busy season". .

May I suggest that you email him directly and suggest he create a "big cat" article for the magazine. [email protected] "They" are always looking for ideas for articles to create for the magazine. In your suggestion, include what you think would be good & interesting things to read about cats in ponds. If you have any photos of cats from your experiences offer to share them with the magazine.
