Breeding Channel catfish

[osira]

Hello I have a very very large pond(not sure what how big in numbers)
and it is made of concrete/asphalt.
I was wondering if it is possible for channel catfish to breed in such a pond?
If possible could someone please give me advice on how to make it possible?
thank you very much
I would appreciate it.

we would have to get a little more info on the pond for us to be able to answer it(dimentions would be nice)

not if its just a pond by itself, they need to be able to make a nest. put some potted plants in their for the fry to hid in when they hatch. take small buckets, or plastic tubes or anything that may resemble a cave. put a couple of those in their and if at all possible put some dirt or gravel, preferably dirt in them so the fish can nest. usually they make nest in holes in banks or other things such as that.

They breed them for food in commercial ponds, so I don't see why you couldn't if you had a large enough pond.
