Unless you have very deep pockets, and a pretty liberal budget for stocking forage in the pond, you would be money ahead by removing a lot of the mouths that are hungry. The remaining fish will have more to eat per fish, and will get larger.

I don't know what the figure is for crappie, but a LMB that eats 10# of baitfish will put on one pound (general rule of thumb). Now multiply that by the number of fish in the pond that you want to grow, and you can get an idea of how many pounds of forage fish you would have to stock.

That's why removing a bunch of fish before adding forage is always a good idea whan the predator base gets too large.
