Looks like I was pre-mature in my judgement.
Used a small beatle spin and caught several bluegills about 7-8" and several small bass. Lost one bass that looked like a two pounder when he threw the little hook. Caught a couple that were around 10-11" long.
Caught some more small bass on 5" plastic worms and a jig dressed with a grub. Lost one bass that broke the line after taking a plastic worm - think the line must have been damaged but seemed like a decent fish.
Also caught 2 crappies about 8" on the beetle spin.
The bass looked fairly healthy - not chunky but not all head either. It would appear there are plenty of bass in pond so I'm not going to bother stocking any more.
I'm thinking I might add some shellcraker sunfish and Fathead minnows to increase the forage. There doesn't seem to be a lot of minnows or small sunfish in the pond and it seems predator heavy.
