Tom, it sounds like you bought what the hatchery suggested. You'll find a ton of information here, and we all have scenarios where we learn from trial and error. If you had the chance to start over, you should establish the forage base 6 months minimum ahead of the predators. Get more big bgill in your pond immediately, eat the hybreds, and forget about the fatheads...your bass want bigger food. Before you do anything, look around here, get a Relative Weight Chart for Bass, and see how yours compare.
