Black crappie are not as bad as white crappie when it comes to spawning prolifically, this is true. However, they're still unpredictable and usually not suggested in a small pond. They're not impossible to manage by any means. If you happen to live on the pond and can manage them very aggressively, it is possible. But, I would wait. Without predators already established, I would definitely hold off on the crappie. If you were to stock crappie, I would wait until your largemouth bass can control them. That may mean years down the road when your bass average 15 inches. They would readily consume any undesirable 5 inch crappie.
