IMO you're wasting your money stocking anything until you get the bass numbers down. You can't keep up with overcrowded bass. You'll go broke. Take out the 1000 bass, even if it takes 2 or 3 years to get it done.
It has to be done quickly. If you take 2 to 3 years to take out LMB before you stock forage you will have a mostly LMB only pond. Like CJ says , absent extraordinary effort, you can't keep up with the LMB. While you remove a 1000 LMB over 2 to 3 years they will produce hundreds of thousands of offspring. If you are going to do this IMO you need to do both quickly remove LMB and increase forage. Large BG and TShad pre spawn is the best option in conjunction with removing as many LMB as you can. The electroshock boat is the best method because it is quick and you are not removing just the LMB inclined to bite. Even then you will have to keep removing LMB.
