I am not confident redear(RES) would do well in western NY... SMB, they would do just fine in your 1 acre pond. They may have a hard time reproducing, but check out some of the information on SMB in ponds on the forum and you'll see how successful they can be. Failure of SMB in ponds is most often due to competition with LMB. If you keep LMB out, SMB do quite well...
Northern pike aren't suitable for a 1 acre ponds. A hand full of walleye could work.
If I had your ponds, I would go this route for your ponds.
For your larger pond:
ASAP, stock 10 pounds of fathead minnows(FHM) and 10 pounds of golden shiners(GSH).
Next spring stock 50 SMB and 50 yellow perch(YP).
Next fall, stock 10 to 20 walleye(WE).
The following spring stock 50 more SMB, and 300 pumpkinseed sunfish(PS).
You have a northern pond, you want to give your SMB some size to them before you stock the PS. This will give them a chance to properly control your PS. PS are not RES, but are similar in many ways, but PS do reproduce much faster than RES do. I feel if you give your SMB a head start, they will control the PS allow with the handfull of WE you stock.
Your WE will not reproduce in your pond. I would restock them every other or every third year to maintain the novelty fishery... If you have no confidence in SMB, but I think if you read about them on here, your confidence will go up, you can switch out LMB for them. Or, later stock LMB into your bass without much detriment. Just know, they LMB will quickly outcompete the SMB and they will be extirpated.
For your smaller pond:
ASAP, stock 3 pounds of fathead minnows(FHM) and 3 pounds of golden shiners(GSH).
Next spring stock between 50 and 150 channel catfish(CC). The number depends on just how many CC you plan on harvesting for the table each year and if you will be feeding your fish... The CC will not naturally reproduce, so you will simply restock the number you took out plus the small number of natural mortality each year. The CC will hammer the FHM and GSH, but will not eat them all(particularly if you feed your catfish)... You can net this pond and collect excess FHM and GSH to add to supplement your larger pond's forage base.
Just my thoughts...
