The LMB, if stocked large enough can maybe control the cats. But, it takes time. Like several years and your mileage might vary due to climate differences.

Many, many years ago, we inadvertently found that a small ranch pond had 2 to 3 pound bass. The owner didn't know there were fish in it. So, we proceeded to start eating bass. Within a couple of years we only caught bullheads. There weren't enough bass to control them and the BH's had started to control the bass. We had screwed up the balance of the pond. So, finally we started bucket stocking 12 to 13 inch bass. Within about 3 years, it once more had nice bass and some whopper bullheads.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
