I haven't really thought about numbers of LMB or CC to put in yet. Sounds like I could go ahead and put the CC in without worrying about them eating up my BG or small RES?
I do plan on eating the CC. I enjoy fishing for them, and my dad really enjoys fishing for them. My wife and her family (live close by) are devout Catholics and will eat all the catfish I put in front of them during Lent. With the pond being right out my front door, it'll be real easy to catch and clean the fish. Well, to clean them anyway... My wife enjoys fishing as well, but only with a bobber. In fact, her dad has a pond, and they never knew there were bass in there, they only ever fished for catfish to eat. They looked at my like I was tearing up dollar bills the first time I caught a bass and threw it back.
What are the downsides of catfish? Muddying up the water? Or eating the forage fish that the bass would otherwise eat?
