Since management for big bluegill and big crappie both rely on keeping large numbers of stunted bass, can both species be kept large in the same BOW?

I know someone with both but the Bluegill have the upper hand at the moment. One of our members, Nathan & Kelly has both but the Crappie are abundant and good sized while the BG are not as abundant but good sized. In the former, the BG are fed. I don't think there has has been any feeding Nathan's except for forage supplementation (crawfish and GSH).
IMHO, one should choose one species and then perhaps stock single sex of the other species as a bonus fish. Or if you want both to reproduce and Crappie are favored, allow crappie to establish before adding BG.

How big is the pond, and do you feed?
