Bluegill are the backbone of the food chain for largemouth bass. Since we can assume you have an existing bass population, make sure you have enough adult bluegill to reproduce sufficiently to build a food chain. It takes 150-250 adult bluegill per acre to establish a food chain, depending how many bass and their condition. If bass are seriously overcrowded, remove some of the intermediate size fish.
If you don't know the status of your fishery, have it analyzed.
Tilapia would be a good choice if you already have bluegill and bass are overcrowded. Tilapia reproduce so fast they can actually increase the odds of baby bluegill survival.
