I started wanting to stock some ponds on my ranch last year but never got around to it. I finally ordered some fish this year to put in our biggest pong. The pond is a little over and acre in size and according to a pond size calculator a little over 5 acre feet of water.
I ordered 200 bg fingerlings, 200 channel cats 8"-12" long
2000 fhm, and 10 grass carp. My goal is to purchase bass next year to stock once the bg's have grown some. This pond is just for fun to fish, let the family fish etc.
My question is if I add some bigger catfish will they eat the bg's before they have a chance to grow? I'm thinking off adding maybe ten big catfish to my order to have something big to try and catch this year?
