You already have advice from more than one professional, and I am definitely not a professional, but since this is a discussion board I'll add my unprofessional opinion.
If you do choose to ignore the advice of the professionals and go ahead and stock some fish, I would not waste my money on the 2-3" fingerlings. Spending twice or three times as much per fish on 5"-6" BG that survive and buying 1/3 as many is still a better investment than buying 3 two inch fish for the same cost that get eaten in the first week. I have had experience with GSF in a one acre pond, and if these things get established before your other forage, they can be as bad as a bunch of fingerling LMB as far as ruining your stocking plans.
I would be worried about a bunch of existing GSF already in the lake more than the dozen LMB you put in.
