When you don't think you have much of a recruitment from the bass it is usually a good idea to stock some 2"-4" LMB so they put predation pressure on the hatchling GSF. Smaller predators eating smaller types of prey. Larger predators rarely eat the smallest prey unless the small prey is very easy to catch such as fathead minnows.
