Griff what Bill is referring to is Channel Catfish (CC), he has developed a put and take fishery on his CC. He harvest so many out every year and also restocks that amount. Your pond can produce only a certain amount of pounds of fish per acre.
As per you stocking: start building your forage--food chain--then add in your bass. Depending on your goals will determine what sizes and quickness you do this.
Look at the threads on forage and creating the food chain. Your imagination and willingness can led to an amazing fishery.
You could start stocking your forage now with the pool level you have. FHM, CNBG, and RE are good choices.
