I have a small pond in my front yard with the same problem. I had it dig about 16 years ago and only stock it with BG. This is the first year I see bullheads in it. I have no idea how they got in there. No chance of runoff from any other body of water. I've heard blue herons won't carry them but I did have one hanging around the pond last year.
