Welcome to the forum! Where is Newman? This forum covers all the states in the union, and we have members from Australia to Europe to South America. Helping someone fish in March in Northern Minnesota would be different than helping someone fish that is from Southern Florida.

So, theoretically you have one bass every (roughly) 50 square feet in the pond. Those bass have no idea where to go for food as they have lived their life in another pond. They don't know where the places are to hang out for food either. How long ago did you stock them?

Unfortunately, since the bass are adults it will take them a bit longer to acclimate to the pond than if they were 4"-6" long.

Since they were caught and removed vs. netted out of a pond they could be just more hook shy. If they have plenty of food, then it will be even harder to catch them.

My only suggestion would be to get an electrofish survey done. That way you will have a good idea of what's in the pond size wise and quantity wise. A city park pond was shocked a few years ago because nobody was catching many fish. They found bass up to 6 pounds, lots of bluegill that were 3"-4" and a few bluegill that were 10". The city got started with a feeding program, and a program to clean up their water. They restocked a bunch of bluegill (8,000) and put in a few hundred 4"-6" bass (4 acre pond) Now people catching fish.
