Anybody ever stocked rock bass in their pond with a BG LMB program in effect?

I love eating Rockbass (Goggleye ,Warmouth). My favorite when it comes to eating brim. They are usually smaller than the BG and will not get to the size of a large BG. But their meat is really sweet. But I do not want them in my LMB pond, they compete for the lmb forage and I don't want that. But, if you want them, then go ahead. It all depends on what you want and the goals for your pond. When I want Rockbass for eating, I hit the lake and I use worms for bait placed close to the cypress knees.  Tracy

I have them naturally in my pond with all kinds of other fish.
You don't see them too often, and I think if you have a healthy LMB population, the rock bass may not 'thrive.'
