The pond garden still needs to be harvested. If not harvested almost always the bass will eventually overeat the food chain and there will be mostly small bass. Management and harvest now needs to be even more watchful because the pond is twice as big which means more fish need to be harvested to maintain the proper balance toward your goals. If you have no goals for the pond then nature will create its balance which may or may not be a high quality fishery. It all depends.
You may want to contact a professional fish manager for advice for adding a higher lever of top line predator to help thin out the small bass.
