I would rather have big bass in the pond, with lots of BG so I can catch them and have a meal of BG occasionally.

The lack of bream is what is making me think about taking the bass out. I only have 25 in the pond (1/2 acre), and one NP. However they have wiped out all my GSH and FH this summer. I have quite a few BG and LMB minnows swimming around, but thats it for forage and there is a long winter ahead.
