I'm sitting here wondering why you wouldnt want to put crappie in a pond intended for flathead reering. They are famous for overpopulating in ponds and I would think that is something you'd want. They can grow into the 4# range if the forage is there.

Flathead ain't fussy about what they suck into that great big mouth, and they will undoubtedly be the apex predator in a pond, so my thinking is BG, LMB, and CP are all prime forage candidates.

.10 surface acre pond, 10.5 foot deep. SW LA. The epitome of a mutt pond. BG, LMB, GSF, RES, BH, Warmouth, Longear Sunfish, Gambusia,Mud Minnows, Crappie, and now shiners!!...I subscribe!!
