OK, so a full year later, the bass stocked have grown to about 14" and look like they're in good condition. Some of the blue hybrids bought at Henneke are big enough to break my line and make me nervous about swimming in the tank. The bluegill after copious amounts of Aquamax are near trophy sized, but the bad news: I have gobs of 5" green sunfish and I don't know how they got there. I didn't stock them and they look like they are similar size. I am now trying to fish them out by rod and reel method, but will probably resort to a trap until the bass can take over in assisting with the reduction in their population.

All things said, by following the information I have received here, I am now very pleased with the outcome. So much so that I subscribed back in January. I am planning construction of two more bigger ponds.
