I have all the mgmnt tools at my disposal, fykes, seines, traps, and shock boat....but for your situation TJ, I would suggest keeping your money in your family....your boy is old enough for a summer job and at $.10 per bg removed that would be the most productive $300 you could spend in a summer....

I would strongly discourage lmb for a smallie pond, go another route....
For the walleyes you would greatly benefit from stocking bigger fish each year as opposed to the little ones.....just think if U stocked 5-10 of those 14" + walleye every year...look at how fast they would thrive, and how happy you would be....

Def stay away from pickeral, bad idea...

Let me think of a way to get redear sunfish to grow today, u just focus on removing tons of em and surely we will come up with some options on growing em from there...
