Water Gardening: Bullfrog Population Explosion, 1 by shadowgirl

My pond is being overrun with bullfrogs of all sizes and stages of development. During the all I see are frogs up to 3" but at night some monsters show up. Now my white butterfly koi Moondoggie is missing and I suspect became a midnight snack for one of the larger frogs. We have counted as many as 40 frogs lounging around on the lily pads and I am sure there are that many hiding in the floaters. Culling seems to be in order since they appear to be the top predators in this ecosystem. My plan is to relocate some to the river bottoms but have a few questions.

How many frogs can a 12, 000 gallon pond support?
Should the large ones go first? My guess is another Big Kahuna will move right in since there is no shortage of BF in the area.
