Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain I overstocked. , now what?

Buff, your are in good N.E. Texas area with some good nearby PondBoss neighbors.
Personally I would stay away from F1 LMB at this time and stock pure Florida LMB with Camelot Bell genes. They will grow fast and be catchable with that much forage. You can always add northern LMB later if F1's are desired but many of us are finding the new Camelot Bell strain of LMB are easy to catch.

See Overton's recent post:

I am a big fan of HSB (Hybrid Striped Bass) and would add them as well to balance out large forage bass, but if you are in the Piney Woods area, water may be acidic and need treatment. I would speak with a qualified fisheries biologist for advice.

Good luck and welcome to the forum,
