Moving Bullheads is a bad idea. In Arkansas Bullheads are trash fish and moving fish from one body of water to another is illegal.

In theory, your idea might sound good. But I'd check first. Moving fish from one lake to another without a permit is illegal in Indiana. The practice can introduce disease to from one lake to another and can upset the ecosystem, etc.

moving fish or aquatic vegetation = very bad idea, and probably illegal also.......

Ok, I wont, any idea how the crappie got there? it must of lived there for a very long time to be 11.5inches right?

Ok, I wont, I just thought it might help cut down on all the bluegills. Theres so many bluegills that they will try to feed on your fishing line. any idea how the crappie got there? it must of lived there for a very long time to be 11.5inches right?

Really don't have a answer for you. Have heard all kinds of theory's all my life. Water bird feet transferring eggs and things like that. Have seen farm ponds that were never stocked with anything in a few years be full of fish. I will bet if there was one there is more. Try small beetle spins and lures like that. Best thing you can do for the bluegills is take all the small fish out you can. Give the others a chance to grow. That's what happens when a small body of water gets overpopulated.

small park lakes have people tossing fish in soon after built. lol im sure it happens all the time. not a good practice though like already said. just enjoy what others put in. best way to see what crappie are in there is under lights at night. you probably caught a fish someone stocked. if so, and you like them there, dont keep any till next fall.(so they can populate)
bullheads not as good as channel cats for predation.

Fling all those small gills as far as you can towards dry land and let the survivors walk back to the water. Beach enuf of them and it will make a difference in the growth of those that stay wet. In a 2-3 acre pond you are talking about eliminating a minimum of hundreds of stunted bluegill. Frozen, they make a great big catfish bait.

If the lake had ever been stocked with the cats or gills at some point, perhaps there were some crappie mixed in the truck tanks and they were put in with the other fish?
