I agree with James Ed, with the emphasis on LMB why the catfish? If your lake has catfishermen well and good. If you think they are "cleaning the bottom", look at the bottom in 5 yrs; you'll think differently. They don't eat leaves and muck!! Each catfish will take the place of one bass; I prefer bass over catfish any day.
