I'd hang around awhile until TJ responds. He is the Nebraska pond boss expert. He's excellent to work with and very knowledgable.
Where are you at in NE? I'm in the south central portion. I started a redear sunfish and smallmouth fishery a few years ago and love it at the moment. I've also had some experience with LMB and HSB coexisting in a .6 acre pond. It worked well for me.
