When feeding large and/or aggressive fish, $41 for 50lbs is insane. It's worth a shot imo.

Any used or seen this food before??
- Thread starter the big kahuna
- Start date
Read the list of ingredients: dehulled soybean meal, wheat middlings and ground corn are the first three. Then we finally see some fish meal, followed by rice bran and then...my personal favourite here...poultry by-product meal, i.e. ground up feathers.
I wouldn't feed this stuff to my worst enemy's wife's sister's dog.
If you read the directions for use, the implication seems to be that while you are feeding this to your fish, you shouldn't expect it to be their sole diet. They seem to hint that it improves the growth and vitality of forage fish, which are then eaten by the game fish. It's all somewhat vague; purposefully so, I'm certain.
Back in my early days in the hobby, I used a lot of Trout Chow as sold by Big Al's; never checked the ingredients, as I hadn't become as untrusting as I am today, but it was probably just this bad. Glad I didn't realize it at the time; I would have likely quit the hobby and taken up golf or something equally silly...

While not the same product it’s close enough and here you read Viktor's(

100% agree with Jjohn. These ingredients are awful and do not belong in any creature you like.
Trout feed, at least the ones I got to look at, is even worse. The cheap stuff is just straight up industrial farming waste with a fat content that is off the charts.
I once bought some rays that were trained on that, after my eating my pellets once, they never touched that repulsive stuff again, and I 100% understood them.

I remember that thread and others in which Viktor mentioned those bargain Ziegler pellets. It was pretty much agreed upon that they were designed to grow catfish at maximum speed to marketable size, at which point they would be slaughtered for sale. The food had to be cheap and put on weight quickly for the short period of time the fish would be kept; long-term health and longevity were not a consideration.While not the same product it’s close enough and here you read Viktor's(
I just noticed on the front of the bag, under the name of the product, it is described as a "supplement", no pretense even being made of the stuff being an acceptable balanced diet.
