The biggest real problem I have with CC is that I haven't found a way I like cook them that the family considers edible. This means my wife, who has 2 or 3 ways to fix catfish we like, has to do the honors. The resulting bottleneck in CC consumption has led to a backlog in the freezer I will try to talk the cook into eliminating this winter.

I like having them in the pond and watching them feed and catching them. Since my original CC are up to 7 pounds and have successfully spawned 2 or 3 years, I have to stay on top of them to keep them from tying up more biomass in the pond than I want.
