You did it pretty well for a long time but, like Burgermeister says, the biomass finally caught up with you. Mama Nature is never forgiving. Being a slow learner, I've done this several times over the years.

Lusk says that a well managed pond can/should be able to carry about 100 pounds of predators per acre. You did a great job of managing and beat the odds for many years.

Take all of these guys advice and check to see what your situation is. I doubt that everything is gone but to start over you may have to rotenone to make sure that will be successful.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
