Patrick:

For fun, look into Smallmouth Bass and Hybrid Striped Bass first to control the HBG offspring. You can always add LMB, but once LMB are in the pond, SMB won't thrive. I'm not saying LMB are bad, but with the fecundity rates for HBG, I don't know if there will be enough YOY fish to support the LMB once they start spawning in the pond
