In my experience, no matter how dense my FHM population has ever grown to, once SMB or HSB are introduced they were extirpated in a matter of months. If you are in a hurry Bobby is right, only way to do it is money whip it with denser forage stockings.
I share and understand your impatience but strongly encourage you establish a strong forage base prior to stocking apex predators. You've waited a lifetime for the pond, what's another season to do it the proven way? Ultimately it's up to you of course.
