The bottom line, or commonality of these threads, is that if you do what excites you, and it's in a .5 acre pond, you can manage it through angling and harvest and have a ball.
Dave Davidson suggestion is really interesting. Remember you can always add fish later on, such as LMB if you deem necessary. If you took Dave's advice you could also tweak the system by harvesting slot size fish, such as all bluegill between 6-8.5 inches and possibly end up with some real trophies!
