Haha, I know man, it's all good. I'm only planning on putting a handful in, just to try to get a spawn. BC don't spawn until they're around 5 pounds, so that's around the size I'd want to stock. Feeding them won't be a problem, I live 5 minutes away from the Yadkin River in NC. I'm actually excited at the idea of making "food runs" on the weekend to bring home some BGs, Shad, or whatever else I can feed them.

It sounds like you had a traumatizing experience with blue cats lol. They do gain weight faster than CCs, but I mean, it's still going to take 5-7 years to get a 5 lb BC to a 30 lb BC, and I definitely don't want them to get that big.. at least that's what I'm trying to tell myself :P I'd probably set a limit of 10-15 pounds and try to harvest them before they get any bigger.
