I put Longear Sunfish in my 5 acre pond in north central Kansas (76 of them). I also put 12 Orange Spotted sunfish in the Pond.
2020 Pond Construction. Sunfish were stocked at roughly same time as my Golden Shiners, Fatheads, Bluegills, and Redears (spring 2021). They are both doing well. Longears make up of about 2-4 percent of my panfish catch. Reproduction seems good. The Orange-spotted sunfish population blew up quick but seems to be controlled by the Walleye and Saugeye.
I love Longears in my pond and people love to catch em (they are beautiful). They were sourced out of a small Flint Hills Creek.
Now if I can knock back my Green sunfish and Bulheads (that flowed in early) I will be happy.
Everything seems to be pretty good as far as year 3.
My pond goal is a Diverse Northern Style pond (NO LMB). I - 70 Corridor
