1/8th to 1/4 acre 30 cats and 30 bass and perch? Every fish you mentioned is a predstor fish. They will clean a 1/4 acre pond out in a hurry and then start feeding on themselves!!

There are bound to be a few still in there. I agree with Esshup here give us some size of the fish you originally stocked. That may help us some. Catfish of any decent size I bet can and will try to suck down a 8 to 9 inch bass. Bass dont really start to fill out to much until about the 11 inch mark.

I would think with all them predators in one small area if they were in there they would bite anything they could. With that many fish your forage base would be like putting a bunch of feeder fish in a 200 gallon aquarium. It won't last long!

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
