Thanks for the replys, guys.. and yep, most are 3" or longer.

Wish I knew of a farmer that could take them, but if the pond looks
overstocked by the end of the year, I supposed releasing the extra in a
nearby man made lake would be acceptable.
==========================
Yes, people do that here as well. We have a large man-made lake where I
have SEEN people pour out a bucket of either goldfish or small orange
colored koi. They stock this lake with largemouth bass and there are huge
catfish there as well. I'm sure most end up dinner for these predators but
it's better than tossing them on a compost pile (and one man I know does
that as well) and die a lingering death by suffocation.
