I would not intentionally stock bullheads. There are so many other options that would be better in my opinion.
My pond eventually arrived at a substantial population of advanced sized bullheads, 10-14"+, that were not subject to any predation. This was with 5lb. + LMB in the pond. Once a bullhead gets 12" +, I don't think they get eaten much by LMB.
We did a mass fishing derby to eradicate them. We took out maybe 80+, and it has made a huge difference in our immediate fishing area.
catmandoo cleaned most all of them, and found FA in most all of their guts. They could have been rooting in the FA for some other organism, but none the less, they consumed it.
I once saw a feed trained smallie torpedo a 14" bullhead that was hitting the feed. Made me proud.
