Talk about a WAKE UP call. I just cleaned the fish. I feed these pigs every day sometimes twice a day, with added feed at the end for these big cats...THINKING keep them fed so they dont eat much of anything else. WRONG Stomach contained a beutiful 6 inch sunfish and something else smaller. and he went after and ate my 4 incher that I was trying to catch a largemouth with. Sorry to say but there coming OUT, starting tomarrow. I may leave one just to have a lunker. I am in shock, a little pissed at myself. Holy cr_p... those pigs must be eating at least 3 or 4 or more 5 inchers a day. OH boy and I got a lot growing up in there to. I caught 2 12 inch albinos the other day that were fat and I never see them eating the feed. That's it Joey... I've been following your thread trying to learn something and I certainly did... I only have one catfish that I know of, though not nearly of that size, and Ole Whiskers may just come out of my pond tomorrow... Thanks for the report! Cam in KY

Thanks for the pics and info, Joey. Your experience has rekindled my search & destroy mission for my big CCs. The pond in question is slowly getting better but is a typical stunted LMB pond. I've been taking LMB out as much as I can get out there, and I've taken all CCs out I've been able to catch.
Like Catmandoo, I've found that they're a worthy adversary. I thought golf was a humbling sport...try catfishing for big CCs. I'm gonna give it another try this weekend.

Caught this guy this morning. I was almost sure none of the little fish I stocked made it BUT...here he is. He took a worm on the bottom, pulled the ultralight pole right in, after I fished the pole out the fish was still on. I am not really happy with how he looks, looks kinda thin to me. He was pretty wide but belly looked drawn in a bit. He is 13 1/3 inches, I didnt get a weight. I feed Aquamax. What do you guys think?? Thin or OK  
Joey
