Blue cats(BC) as individuals larger than 24" become major predators as eating as much or more fish per day/year as bass because the BC are gaining more weight per year needing more food to do it. If you use both BC and LMB be sure to do good homework as to what species of forage fish will long term provide enough food to keep them growing. 10lb BC will probably be regularly eating 10" to 13" LMB and similar sized fish. 20lb(twenty) BC can/will eat 2 lb bass. If the BC are reproducing you could have too many predator problems.
