Only BG can spawn enough to feed bass and only bass can control BG spawning numbers.
Bass can and do over eat their food supply so, after a couple of years, start culling anything less than 10 to 12 inches. Bluegills don’t need to be culled. The bass, if stocked in appropriate numbers, will control them.

The bullheads are an undesirable variable to the above. I would cull them.


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.
