Welcome to Pond Boss.

Your pond is beautiful.

No matter what specific plan you embark on, removal of a vast majority of the bullheads, I think, would be a major component.

If we call your pond an even 1 acre, set a goal of removing 200-300 bullhead, just as a milestone. Remove them via trapping, netting, fishing, and maybe even electro shocking. A cast net would work well on some of those in the picture, but it takes some practice.

One Channel Cat in a .9 acre pond is not much at all to have a real impact on the bullheads. You could introduce some northern pike or some tiger muskie and that would have an impact on them.

For me, I wouldn't want to invest in my desired fish species until I had the bullheads in more control.
