Dave, I agree GSF are not likely to be a threat in an establised pond, but as a forage they would not be as good as BG since they compete directly with bass for many more foods. The biggest danger is if a pond is INITIALLY stocked with several GSF since the GSF will quickly overpopulate and eat most LMB fry. IIRC, GSF are faster swimmers than BG causing bass to expend more energy to feed.
