I'm no expert, but around here, just about every pond has a few flatheads in it. I've seen some dandies up to 35 lbs or so caught from ponds, and have never seen a pond "decimated" by them. I put 2 in my first ponds and plan the same for the second. They are 1.75 and 1.1 acres (or will be) if they ever fill up. They won't spawn and take over. Quite a thrill to catch.
In a lifetime, the average driver will honk 15,250 times. My wife figures I'm due to die any day now...
