About the only way the 2" CNBG would be eaten by some of the 100 fingerling LMB would be if the CNBG remained somewhat stunted due to lack of food and the fingerling LMB were able to utilize other types of foods not edible by the CNBG. In this case the LMB after several months were able to grow rapidly to the 7"-8" size group. Then these 7"-8" bass could eat some of the smaller slow growing individuals of 2" CNBG original stockers. As is often the case when a pond owner buys a certain size of fish there will be some smaller ones and larger ones in with the lot of the fish that was purchased. Example - when you buy 2" BG the measured sizes can often range from 1.5" to 3". Theoretically a 1.5" BG could be eaten by a 5" bass.
