I don't know much in real experience or much of anything on grass pickerel. But I do know that spotted bass if they spawn can be a real nuisance. Stunting real easy and taking years longer to reach the same size as a largemouth from the same year class. They have a smaller mouth but I believe their small overall size and slow growth is more of an issue. They also go deeper depth wise, don't know if they prefer deeper or are just forced to go deeper, than smallmouth and largemouth. If they were harvested enough and well fed growth might be better.

What you need is an expert with some real experience on both species. Maybe this bump will work.
