Steve-you mentioned channel cats-how many and how big? Could there be enough large cats that, in a pond with little to no cover, they're consuming most of the larger RES and LMB? I'd think you'd have to have a very heavy density of CC to have that much predation...but occasionally missing classes of medium fish are due to overpredation rather than stunting.
