How was it wired before?
I am only guessing, but I think the bare ground wire going to the ground was some attempt at bonding the metal box.
If the 12/2 yellow wire has a ground, and it is properly grounded back at the source panel, then connect that ground and the hot and neutral to the GFCI. Just leave the bond wire connected at the back of the metal box. You will also want to bond the pump. There should be a lug on the outside of the pump for this. You can connect it to that bare copper if you can get to it in the ground. Use a split bolt connector.
Did you determine how many amps the pump is drawing?
