I am a newbie to pond management. I have a 6 acre pond on my property I recently purchased 3 years ago. It appears to be overstocked with LMB. Fishing for 3 years, my kids have caught one 5-lb bass and thousands of bass 7"-10" long. We have fished for catfish many times, never caught a single catfish.

I want to establish catfish for my kids to "catch dinner".

How can I establish catfish in the pond?

Most catfish available to purchase are 5-7" Channel Catfish

Will the bass eat them?....please note bass size again...
Do I need to take bass out? If so, what is the best method?

Any help / input would be appreciated
