In this case like Eric is saying bigger is better. The 5 to 6 inch CNBG I put in my pond did great!! Even tho I had some decent size LMB in it. If you can get 5 inch you would not have to keep them in a fence for long or net whichever. I firmly believe that once a 5 inch fish get acclimated to the pond they are not so easy to catch as a 2 inch. Some of my lazy LMB look at my bigger BG and then just are like nahh to much trouble.... lol. If you have to go with 2 inch I would make a area for them and feed,feed,feed them as long as you can. Let them go once it get colder as the LMB start to shut down and not feed as much... they will have a better chance at that point I think....
