My learning curve on ponds is still near vertical, but hang around here, and keep asking questions and you will learn a lot.
One thing you may or may not know is your pond will only support "x pounds" of fish. So at some point, the more numbers fish you get the weight per fish will be less. The more the numbers increase the more strain on you forage fish.
If your pound will support 1600# of fish(400#/ac) you have to start figuring out what % is in Bass, crappie, and catfish. The weight won't really change just the numbers and weight per fish. Once they wipe out the forage base there isn't enough new hatch to support the fish that are there.
