BH, BH, GSF, BG

Some people like bullheads. Most don't. Some people like GSF, most don't.

If you want a general purpose fishing pond without lofty specific goals you can manage around them. The GSF can be a problem if you are still planning on stocking more fish. You need to make sure whatever you additionally stock are large enough so the GSF will not eat them. GSF are very aggressive predators with a mouth size matching LMB inch for inch of length.

A good LMB population will control both BH and GSF over time (a few years). A good population of BG will out spawn GSF and dominate the pond eventually also if the GSF numbers are high.

The further north the more the GSF seem to be hated. More south they are more just a way of life and common to a lot of ponds.
