Careful about stocking crappie in your pond. I've read on this site numerous times where crappie can over-populate in ponds under 25 acres. Just another thing to consider.
I think they are by far the best tasting freshwater fish so if that happens culling will be swift and the fish fry massive. Also my uncle stocked them in his pond and its only 4 acres and hasnt had any problems. They mostly just hang out around a bunch of hay bales he dumped out in some deep water.
