catscratch,

The interesting thing about CC is that can grow large even when the LMB can't. Just provided there aren't too many CC. But I agree with Sunil, they are not helping you grow large bass. All the same it would seem that your pond is notable example of large CC even while the LMB are too numerous. Not sure why this happens but CC are great generalists and they'll eat the annual turnover of old age and sick BG too which might contribute.
