Polarbeard, welcome to pond boss forum!
We depend on Esshup, aka Big Brother, for all our info, I'm thinking he may have ties to the mafia, but I cant be sure! jk!
You will find a ton of useful information on this site, some useful, and some might not apply to you, the bass pic you put up, I agree with the others, it is seriously malnourished, either way you will need to get a bunch of those out of there.
Bass fishing is a little more fast paced then catfishing, they will bite on pretty much every thing, especially if they are hungry.
Good Luck, Enjoy you're new ponds, they can be a ton of work but also a little fun on occasion.
