I stocked 200 channel cats in my 1 acre pond next to the house. I like to fish from my lazy boy recliner.
I fed them the first couple of months but nothing after that. They reached 4 to 5 lbs in the first 4 years. We caught a couple around 12 lbs after about 7 or 8 years. They are my favorite fish to catch and eat.
I'm considering stocking Blue cats next. I know in the wild( lakes and rivers) they put up a stronger fight than the channel cats. How do they do in a pond environment compared to channels cats? Same growth rate etc..?
