I wish I could tell you Howie, I stocked perch, some hybrid bluegill, hybrid stripers, some redear and 4 lone smallmouth. No LMB or catfish, really just a panfish pond with a 5-7in max for the initial stocking. So far the perch/HBG look great and the hybrid stripers are a lot of fun, feeding is nuts. I've never seen the smallmouth spawn (heck never seen them much period) in the pond before this year but they are going now so it's an experiment.

To be fair I stocked fatheads and shiners for around 8mo before adding the "attendees". Not so much due to choice just had things to do.
