I'm not sure I would want very much CC recruitment in a smaller pond. CC are pretty cheap to sock in larger sizes when wanting more. I also don't think 50 or so CC would have a negative impact on SMB, especially since you want wall-hanger sizes!
To manage for a trophy species, you want damn few of them in your water! So, CC would help accomplish that goal, and be a fun catch since you like them!
50 WE, 30 SMB, 1500 YP, and 400 Redear would make a pretty manageable combo along with FHM to jumpstart and Golden Shiners sustaining a minnow forage base.
