I think and in my experience the larger CC will eat more YP than LMB because of the behavior of YP & LMB that puts the YP more in the predatory search of CC than small bass. Since you are buying just a few musky the fish place may select them toward the larger sizes of 12"-14" if you ask or offer to pay a premium for the larger ones. If your bass are not much bigger than 13" then the smaller stocker musky should survive okay if there are proper sized fish for them to be eating right after stocking. Plus you have some shoreline emergent weed cover for refuge of the stockers which will help survival. Prior to stocking make a concerted effort to fish out bass even if you have to use FHM or shiners as bait. Your bass will quickly repopulate.
