Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Choices

I posted over on the renovation thread yesterday. I am probably looking at renovation of my pond this late summer/fall. I currently have CC in my pond and definitely want them in the new one. The pond will be 3/4 surface acre when full. I am going to take advantage of this horrible drought and have the silt cleaned out and recontoured.

I am looking for low maintenance. I like to go down and feed them in the evenings (my little boy gets a big kick out of it). I know bass are hard to manage in a pond this size. What are my best choices? Hybrid Bluegill/Channel Cats? Opinions welcome. I would like a few big bass, but afraid they would get out of hand in a hurry.
