I'm not disagreeing on these since that may be correct, but I find it hard to believe. There are Tons of smaller bluegill in this pond. Tons of tadpoles. I put a small hook on a bobber and can catch the smallest of bluegill until I am bored. There are also lots of medium sized bluegill and lots of larger size bluegill. The bluegill population looks very healthy. I stocked FHM in this pond on two separate occasions and can recall there being thousands upon thousands of FHM both times when I released them into the pond.
Not enough Predators... well this could be. For predators I only put in 50 HSB but they have grown out very well. They are over 12-16" long. I pellet feed the HSB by hand and they smash the food regularly so i'm sure they attack other fish with ease.
