That last Bass picture - looks like a pretty healthy fish with a good body:head ratio. Some of the oher bass look a little skinny (big headed). Did you have any Bluegill over 7"? How many?
So do you plan to go deeper with the pond? With lots of small BG - I'd say that you had cover that benefited BG less than 5" and once they left that "cover" or pond depth - they became Bass food. So did most of the young bass that must have been offspring!
This kind of stuff is interesting to follow and learn from.
