Started feeding the fish again. Its gonna take forever to get decent sized catfish. Lol
With good quality feed, you will be amazed at how quickly your catfish will grow - especially in LA!
Several of the members with CC ponds say the best eating size is roughly 3-3.5#. It might be fun to raise some really big ones, but they get very smart about hooks and you might catch a fish only one time. Be a shame to catch one at 5# and then he eats all of your food and you never catch him when he weighs over 15#.
If you want to experiment, you might fin clip the ones you catch, and note how often you catch the clipped fish in the future?
