TMK, the stunting of LMB as you describe in your lake also impacts the forage base at certain slot sizes. Most likely, those 9-10" LMB simply don't have enough food to eat. Three and four inch fish would be their target eats.
I'm just guessing, but I think your forage base needs bolstered and reestablished before you add more predators.
BTW, I've been internally simmering over your calling your 50 acre lake "small."
Internally jealous may be a better description.
