Thanks. I need to add a correction also that evidently he stocked it with blues and channels.

Well I can't drain the pond completely without getting a backhoe and busting out the damn. I have a friend with a big seine net that I'm trying to get to come over to clean house for me. Friends of mine have told me to remove all the big cats and remove all the bass, let the bream population rebuild and then add my predatory fish. It's what im leaning towards doing but I hate for this big cats to go to waste. I know it took a while to grow them. But I also know they're probably eating everything in the pond at this point
