I never considered channel cats because they are not native to the pond, while the brown bullheads are. I've come to the conclusion that I'll go catch some bullheads in Lake Talquin or another nearby lake and bring them over to my pond. I was considering doing this for a long time anyways. Thanks for your advice.

My pond is 5 acres or so in size and extremely productive. It's full of bass and decent size bluegill along with warmouth and tons of crawfish. It also has a small island on it, and the channels on each side of it are great fishing spots. It's only 7 feet deep max though. There's also tons of turtles and wildlife that come to drink the water. The pond is pretty much in the middle of the woods, and a pleasure to watch over and protect. Is there anything else you guys want to know?
