1/3 acre pond, 10ft avg depth. Currently stocked with non-hybrid bluegills.

300 Bluegills stocked as 1-2 inch fingerlings last year. Plan is to introduce LMB fingerlings this year. Gills are now 3-6 inches in length on average and very healthy.

My problem....bluegills are very aggressive and constantly peck at anyone swimming anywhere in the pond. My wife and daughters want my babies gone :-(

I am assuming this is an over-population and lack of predator (not afraid of anything) issue.

Looking for advice.

Maybe time to introduce some 8-10in LMB??
Also planning to remove as many BG females as possible.
