So my in-laws have multiple ponds on their place in MO near the Iowa border. One of them is a about half and acre with some plant cover and is probably about 8 foot deep in the middle. They had a fish kill years back. He threw a couple of bass they took off in the pond and we catch bass in the quarter to half pound range all day long (9 of us fished it at once and there was no slow down of the bites and catching). The only small fish in the pond are little LMB. I was wondering if y'all think the BG would stand a chance of establishing themselves in the pond to eventually get the bass bigger. I would be stocking larger BG would be the only option but with the sheer number of bass in the pond but I am worried if the YOY of the BG would just get hammered to nothing before they got big enough to survive and continue the cycle.

I have removed 15 bass between harvesting them and moving a few to the next pond up the pasture which is nothing but frogs of all sizes.
