Largemouth will outcompete smallmouth in most pond settings. Unless advanced sized smallmouth are stocked regularly, which can be expensive, the largemouth will rule and you'll rarely see a smallie.
LMB outcompete SMB with respect to
spawning. SMB and LMB of the same size (not yoy) do fine together. Over time as SMB die off from age/morts with no/little reproduction to adulthood the LMB will become predominate and SMB will disappear. If new SMB are stocked as advanced stockers you can maintain the fishery if you harvest LMB (no LMB crowding).
