However, I'm in the 2% minority when it comes to Crappie...I love them ! Now, what do you want to eat...a GSF, or Crappie 
I'm with Eastland on both counts.
I have never actually seen a pond ruined by GSF, but fear their genetics creeping in.
I HAVE seen a couple of ponds ruined by their cousin the longear sunfish. They breed like flies, and 6" is a big one. GSF, maybe. Longears? Panic time! Shoot the heron, drain the pond, start over.
