Lots of unknowns when this happens.

What size were the BG? This may be the biggest key. A bass needs prey that is about 40% of its size. It's a matter of energy expended vs calories obtained. Those 3-5 pound bass need(ed) 7 to 8 inch bluegills and an awful lot of them. Bluegills don't reach that size in a couple of months.

It is generally best to stock BG today and bass a year later after feeding heavily.

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.
