Don't worry about FHM, stock them now and let them reproduce like crazy. They will get your blugill and LMB off to a great start. I would also consider stocking some golden shiners as they are a great fusiform baitfish that are easy to find and relatively cheap. Stock your FHM and CNBG now and wait until next year to add your bass, by then the FHM and CNBG will have multiplied and you will have a better chance of your pond becoming predator heavy. Are you in Kentucky or North Carolina?
Personally I would skip the catfish and crappie but I would add yellow perch as they are not only great table fare but they are good forage for your LMB. Add them in the fall before you stock your LMB so they can spawn in the early spring.
