Just repeating. Decide which goal presented by TJ above that you want. Your initial stocking method or design was to produce larger bass which was also noted by TJ; even thought that was not your actual goal. To get more toward trophy BG you will need more bass. To do that, determine which size of BG is most abundant (2"-3", 3"-4", or 4"-5") then stock bass 3-4X longer than those BG. Also you can target the abundant size class of BG by simple live bait angling and removing those BG from the abundant size category. Trapping also works. You should be able to catch 20-35 BG per hr of angling when they are abundant, young & dumb.
