Just to add my 2 cents. I did not notice anyone mention that CC will make their own spawning place. I have a half acre 100% clay pond. I was told they would not spawn, however they did, they made a hole in the side of the pond to spawn,\ that was one surprise, the other is no one mentioned that it does not take long for them to grow to a large size! After about three years we were catching 10-12 pound, 20-28 inch CC. At that point they become the top predator and have a mouth that can eat anything in my pond, I feed them! I have LMB, BG and GSH, feeding Aqua-Max MVP keeps everyone happy and the CC do not eat everything in the pond. Big CC are fun to catch and even better eating! Just a few thoughts to share I did not see in the conversation, hope this info helps.
