Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Yellow Perch and LM Bass

I have stocked a small 1.5-2.0 acre pond about 15-20 ft deep in a quarter of the pond, the rest app. 6ft. I put in LM Bass. unknowingly yellow perch have also established. All the fish are about 6-8 inches long. I am catching more perch then LM Bass. Should I be concerned that the perch will take over the pond? If so how can I effectively thin them out. I know the perch will serve as a good forage fish when my bass get bigger but I am afraid that they will over populate and weed out the bass before that! Also with the perch established should I transplant flathead minnows also. Thanks
