How large are the ponds? The bluegill does look pretty stunted in the picture, I don't see the GSF colors, but the picture is kinda fuzzy. The smile on your daughter is awesome regardless of fish species and size!
If the catfish ARE bullheads, personally, I would pump the ponds as low as I could and add however much Hydrated lime it takes to raise the pH over 11 to kill everything and stock according to new species goals wanted.
What part of Arkansas are you in?
I was afraid of that. What kind of cost is the lime? I think my dad has a pump. I live in south Arkansas in El Dorado.
