Rons yer man here mate but I'll add my little bit first 
I've caught 2 UK cats, 1 around 10lb caught on 22mm halibut pellet and 1 24lb caught on my own homemades. I reckon most fishmeals will catch also bunches of Lobworms etc etc

In the UK the growth rates can vary dramatically, excluding very short term weight gains, growth rates of 1-2lbs a year would be average, 3-4lbs a year above average and over 4lbs a year excellent. It is all dependant on the availability of their food, lakes that are fished and therefore baited by carp anglers tend to have an above average growth rate.
so in short with a good food suply those cat`s should be around the 7 to 8lb mark by now
