I would like to get around 100-300 fish to add to my pond. I currently have largemouth bass, sunfish, bluegill,crappie, channel catfish, and a couple other fish I don't know the species of. (all natives) the pond is 3/4 acres. No tropicals! I need to stock up the pond with a bunch of catfish and a couple more gamefish. Any ideas? I was thinking 100 3-8" channel cats and 200 5"-16" gamefish. I was thinking smallmouth bass. We have caught ALMOST every single fish In the pond over the years and I feel like they are the same things every time, and most of the larger fish stopped biting because they've been caught so many times. I want some STRONG fish that put up a REAL fight. Even the 2' largemouth bass are seeming like ur catching guppies! I need some BIG and TOUGH gamefish! Any ideas to add? Where can I stock them from? I'm in upstate new York. But, I have houses in nj so I can get them there too. We usually stock the pond from other ponds and we got some nice fish in there. I think my stepdad added some type of Lmb/florida bass hybrid. They are huge! He bought them online and people came in a huge truck and dumped in a bunch of these awesome bass! I want some BIG catfish to catch!

what do you mean low quality stocking?
do you want diseased and deformed fish?
a company that takes your money and never shows up?
 
Is there only lmb is the pond? If so you should add bluegills pumpkinseeds and some minnows provising theres cover before thinking about adding any more predators. They will just end up eating the young gamefish and IME with farm ponds all lmb ponds produce smaller bass than a diverse pond.
