Where I come from, everything without whiskers is BAIT.....LOL
I love the channels and smaller blues I have in my pond, lots of great feeding going on and everyone loves to see them feeding and we catch many in the 4-7 lb range, a blast for sure! I purposely left the LM out of my pond and included cats as one of the manageable alpha species. So far after 4 years and all is good.
