ImaBassMan, I wouldn't stock them until I knew for sure I had a LMB population large enough to control them.

Kind of a best case, worse case scenario. If you have a large enough LMB population, then all's well. If you don't, then you have forage that's uneatable by the vast majority of your fish, and can grow to 2 pounds. At that point what do you do with them, and how do you control their population?

As far south as you are, threadfin shad and tilapia would be my first 2 choices. Kind of no harm, no foul forage.
