It's a wild guess how many you would have left after bass predation, but my wild guess is 10% or less. 6"-9" bass would be nearly as susceptible to predation. My suggestion is to go with the 11"-14" CC@$5.99 (or, if you're feeling gutsy, the 9"-11" CC @$2.49) from the same distributor (we know who they are ), stock as many cats as you want to remove in the next few years, and suck up the delivery charge (unless the total runs $350). You might be able to pick them up for free at the Cincy, Columbus, or Medina locations (you might possibly be closer to Indianapolis, I suppose). Call them up and check out the pickup options for CC.
