hello, i agree with some of the comments but i can tell you i have a great respect for the blue cat. i have been noodling since i was 7 and if you ever noodle a blue cat, of any size, you will gain a great respect for them.(not legal but you come across them looking for flatheads in oklahoma) anyway they fight you 5 times harder than a flathead and there teeth are 2 times longer. about 20, 20lbs to 40lb blues found there way to one of my 1/4 acre ponds, and i found they will eat floating catfish food right with the channel cats. this is very fun to show people and they won't take over because they are all males. i must tell you i am a blues man and they will try to tear your arm off if given the chance. how can you not respect that?
