Population of CC? They shouldn't be doing much spawning in this pond. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're talking about....
Maybe you won't, but if not given the opportunity for the young to find protection, LMB will hammer them and keep them in check. If LMB aren't present I'm not sure the parents, HBG and HSB can keep them controlled. Wait for someone else to chime in on that though.
By the way, I would love to have a few bass in there in hopes of having a whopper or two. Tell me more about this female bass option.
Sexing them is critical, obviously, but if you're able to 100% sure know they are female only, you won't run the risk of spawning but still receive the reward of catching one once in a while and their predatory tendencies.
