Hard to tell the full story based on just seine results. Creel info would help us move from a super WAG to a WAG.
On the new pond my guess is those RES reproduced and they have moved out of the shallow water to deeper cool water around the woody structure where the snails and inverts are.
On the big pond it sounds like some change is occurring in the LMB BG balance. Sounds like the bigger LMB and Theo are eating the medium BG. Seine results often don't sample larger fish ( 4+ inches) well.
