If I wanted to have fun and could either afford a feeder or afford to hand feed I would put about 100 Hybrid Bluegills and about 25 Hybrid Stripers in. The Hybrid bluegills should go in at about 4 inches each and stock them anytime but before the Stripers. That way they could let them grow large enough to escape predation when you add the stripers about 6 months later. The stripers could be about 6 inches long. The stripers will pretty well clobber the GSF and create an interesting fishery. OK, that's the long term solution to having catchable big fish without letting anything else, like BG and LMB, overspawn.

To have fun: I would ignore all of the above and toss about 10 to 12 foot long(approx) LMB in there and let them start chowing down and clobbering the GSF. The bass will overspawn in 4 or 5 years and mess up everything. However, until then you will have a ball. Also by then, you will be old enough and experienced enough to make a decision about the next step. If you keep hanging out here you will get a pretty good education in ponds, fish and fishing.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
