I think they have their place in a pond.

1) for a pond where you will be feeding, and want a good sunfish pond without the problems associated with trying to control BG/CNBG populations.

2) for a pond where kids will be fishing. Easier to get to a larger size in the first few years than BG, easily restocked. Large mouths make for biting on larger baits. larger baits are easier for kids to fish with.

For ponds where you won't be feeding, the fish density won't be as high, and they won't grow as quick as in ponds where they are fed.
