Below is some info about your question on what comes out of a LMB crowded pond if that helps. I would not try to do that if there were other choices. You may transport unwanted bacteria or fish diseases into your pond and unless you can tell age and genetics when you catch them without killing them IMO it is not a wise move. It can be done but you need to be good and lucky for it to turn out well. To big a risk for me.
