Funky,

Do you also fish for the BG?

Lots of people on the forum have a problem with BG overpopulating without enough LMB as the top predator. Are your CC keeping your pond in a decent balance?

Also, are the CC reproducing in your pond, or are you just raising the original catfish that you stocked?

Congrats on your 31" CC, sounds like a good "eatin' size" to me!
