Thank you all. ewest, I had to go through that info twice, just to scratch the surface. I'll continue to catch as many HBG as I can, but I've been seeing a lot lately in the 1-2" range.
I also have RES, so I could be getting addl crossing there, or, the 1-2" fry I'm seeing might be RES, and not HBG.
If I ever get to the point that I'm not catching them as soon as the hook hits the water, or they really leave swimmers alone, I'll report it here.

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
