Sounds like you've had several very successful crappie spawns. Does your pond have a lot of shallow grass or is it pretty clean? Just curious. What kind of BG numbers do you estimate you have?
I mostly catch bluegills by accident and throw them all back as I want to build up their numbers - been looking to add 200 or so full size bluegills. I don't really care about large bluegills - would rather have large numbers of breeding bluegills. The pond is mostly deeper water - tends to drop into 8" deep or deeper within 10' of shore - lots of lillypads along shore in the areas under 5' deep.
I wouldn't add crappie to a small pond as it seems rather insane how fast they breed but it's not such a bad "problem" - I suspect the bigger bass in the pond mostly eat crappie.
