LMB. Pumpkinseed and bullhead are very easy to trap, so if you're looking to reduce their numbers in a pond build yourself a nice cloverleaf trap or 5 lol

LMB of the medium to larger size would certainly help you out and if you could stock single sex LMB you would not have to worry about their overpopulation tendencies.
