Hi im chad congrats on your pond. I have two ponds one is a .3 acre perch and minnows only pond and other is a acre and has most species.Ive heard that smallmouth bass are extremely aggressive towards perch, and will eat and destroy perch ribbons that are full of eggs giving them ahard time to regenerate themselves. May want to keep this in mind when stocking. Especialy when a perch dinner cost between 8 to 12 dollars. Good luck have fun Chad.
