Theo pretty nailed it and the smaller catfish sounds suspiciously like a bullhead. However, it could be a runt since it is unlikely that they have spawned in their first year.Did it look like the other cats that you have been catching?

In this area, BG should easily be over over 3 inches by now and I expect that you are seeing and catching those that have been spawned in the pond. I also figure that a bunch of your original stockers were eaten by the bass and cats. The size ratio at stocking time tells me that a bunch of the BG were turned into groceries but that some escaped to create a forage base.

How many BG are you seeing when you feed? How large is the pond (be conservative if you're not sure)? Seen any sign of the bass?

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.
