I think you nailed it with "well intentioned "neighbors, If they put in two large bass say 3-4lbs and they spawned then that is what you are catching now. The ones that were dumped into my pond spawned and I saw this spring bunches of 1" bass terrorizing the minnow population along the shoreline. They are now 10" and just now have eaten all the YOY everything. Good luck. Life is like that. You will win. Now that you know what you are up against.
