Same happened in my old refurbished pond. I left a puddle in the middle when I cleaned it out with a dozer and the GSF and BH got the upper hand on the fish I stocked at some later date when the pond filled. About all I could catch was GSF and small BH. I ended up stocking some adult LMB from my main pond. Once they spawned in a couple years the BH problem pretty much went away. Took a few years but the problem self corrected once enough predation was there. Hardly ever catch a BH now.
