Well, overall the catfish fingerling market has dropped off considerably over the past 20 years. Nowadays most folks are interested in a "sportier" fish than catfish, such as LMB and HSB. Seems as if there is a notion now that catfish are more of an "ethnic" fish and less of a fish to brag about.
In addition, blues are even less popular than channels. Most folks have been steered away from blues by their respective fishery consultants.
We do have a niche market for these blue cat fingerlings...as there are still some pond owners with "blue blood."
Well I am the ones with the "Blue Blood" for sure....Why an "Ethnic" fish? I though crappie was the "Ethnic" fish?
