for whatever it is worth: the pond is one acre in central OH; 13 feet deep full pool 60% of surface area [over 10 feet]; aeration system; american pond weed controlled; some limestone pea gravel 200 feet by 8 feet 3/4 feet deep; 3.5 years ago, in the spring [new pond] started with shiners and minnows then bluegill [regular, hybrid, reds]...late spring hybrid white bass [50] ( 5" average); second year added 20 more HSB and specklebelly bluegill (150); last year more specklebelly BG and 20 more stripers...the pond has 60 stacked pallets for spawning shiners and minnows with Xmas trees next to the pallets; there are swarms of small fry; to boost and speed growth feed the BG and of course the stripers gobble up more than their share (like cat fish, no cats in pond, never)...this fall many of the BG weigh in at one pound +/- an ounce or two and many stripers at 20 inches are just an ounce or two shy of 4 pounds although the 23 inch striper was pushing 6 pounds.
Had to set aside my 3wt fly rod for the 5 or 6wt rod and 8lb leader...those stripers were so fast and their run so hard that the leaders busted too often.

after reading your comment about LMB in the same pond, not going to stock any LMB...was going too...having second thoughts...maybe pond is fairly blanced

my original goals were: one pound BG...accomplished this year (dozens this size0; and 5 pound HYB...accomplished this year (at least 5-6, maybe a few more)

new goal: 2 pound BG and 10 pound HYB

the hybrid BG reverted to green sunfish [some 9.5 inches and heavy]
many specklebelly are 9 inches and 12 oz. these are replacing the hybrids
although there are few female specklebellies, they must have spawned successfully as quite a number of small BG look mostly rainbow colors like the large parents; these are just beautiful fish so if you can stock them you will likely be pleased. they are darn costly however. Jones Fish in Ohio has them.

Any of you with experience over longer periods of time that can comment on warnings and cautions for a balanced habitat for BG and Stripers would be much appreciated.

The fly rod with poppers and larvae imitations make for exciting fishing; those large BG put up quite a fight; the stripers want to rip the rod out of your hands.
