Eddie,

To clarify...I know several guys around here who started out stocking both catfish and LMB and as time went on, came to the conclusion that they needed to remove all the catfish in order to optimize on the LMB. Not wanting to offend the catfish fans, there's probably also examples of guys wishing they could remove LMB in favor of catfish. My point was that it is sometimes good to go slow, at first, in stocking until you get a good feel for what works best for you in your situation.

I have springs just like you described. How's your trees doing that we looked at along the shoreline?
