CC, in general, were way, way more available to people than Blue Cats which is why we don't hear about them as much.
Yep, I knew that one.
Didn't know if CC are easier to add pounds and more catchable, or just easier for the fish suppliers to produce.
I think a 3# blue cat will yield larger filets than a 3# CC. However, most of the commercial catfish farms for table fare raise CC. There must be a good reason for that!
