300g (or .6 lb) is below average for an adult bullhead. If you stock them in your pond they may do better if you stock a few less than recommended to allow for them to grow.

In general however, bullheads don't grow very big. They max out around 700-900g (1.5-2 lb)

matija, bullheads over populate quickly and stunt. Have you considered Channel Catfish, and/or using quality commercial fish food?
