If it was my pond, I'd get the carp outta there. Probably by fishing with a bow rather than a rod n reel. If the White Amur (or Grass Carp-GC) is large, depending on the pond weeds, I'd consider getting rid of that too, and putting in smaller ones. If that one is say 20#, you could put in more than enough 1#-2# GC that would eat more weeds than that one, and free up a bit of biomass for other fish. (read up on pond carrying capacity, there's good stuff in the archives) Just make sure that the GC that you stock are at least 1/2 the size of the largest LMB that is in the pond. If not, they might become dinner.
I would also look into stocking some RES or PS, depending on whether RES would live in your climate or not. They will eat the snails, which will help reduce the chances of white grubs, black spot or swimmers itch appearing in your pond.
Nate has a great suggestion about the Feed Trained SMB. There are times that I think feeding the fish is more fun than fishing for them!
